Ages of fossils from the Ouled Abdoun Basin
Othniel C. Marsh posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I have recently been trying to work out the exact ages of my fossils from the Ouled Abdoun Basin, but it is proving somewhat difficult, particularly with regards to sharks and crocodilians. I have been unable to find any comprehensive resources on the matter, and any relevant resources or other guidance on this front would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Othniel- 2 replies

Hi everyone, so I went to Beltinge, Herne Bay for the first time yesterday. Unfortunately the conditions weren't great so not many teeth and only one complete. I did however find a couple of nice items I'm hoping some intelligent people can help me with! The area is late Palaeocene and early Eocene. 1. Bony fish vertebra. I know these can be hard to ID, but it makes me sad to have such a nice one only to label it 'bony fish'! 2. Bone fragment (Possibly turtle? Is it possible to tell what bone it is?) 3. Chimaeroid fish mouth part? 4. I think this one could just be a conveniently shaped concretion, but another part of me hopes fish tooth? Thanks for your help! 1. 2. 3. 4.

I want to show you this great tooth that i got on my birthday. I never saw a tooth like this so i am very intrigued about this ... Some information: He is regarded as the ancestor of the great white shark, though this is not directly descended from him. Palaeocarcharodon teeth in good quality have become almost impossible to find in Morocco. My tooth is 4.5 cm long, about 60 millions years old (Palaeocene) and was found in Khouribga, Plateau des Phosphates, Marokko. Do you have some teeth like this ?
