Hello dear forum users. I want to share a couple of findings and ask a couple of questions As I understand it, the image shows two fragments of Cylindracanthus rostra. Do I understand correctly that the frequency of longitudinal lines is not an indicator of species affiliation? Need to see a cross section? I found this information and understood it this way. Maybe you can help me understand this issue and recommend literature. I enclose links to the fact that in different parts of the rostrum there are different frequencies of protrusions. best regards, Anton Trans-Urals our finds on a red background https://zenodo.org/record/3660367 https://ammonit.ru/foto/62060.htm

Good day, dear forum participants! Today's paleo-fishing in the clays of the Barton age brought such a catch in the form of an otolith. The size is exactly 10 mm in length, can there be any thoughts on identification? Please tell me who it could be. Tavda Formation, Western Siberia, Barton

As stated in my previous topic. Here s the last part of my autumn trip to Champagne. After 2 days we were done with our albian spots. So we decided to take the car and drive 2 hours from there, to totally different layer / fossils The area of Epernay if reknown for the quality of its eocene shells, and specially its giant gastropod : campanile giganteum. Those, can only be found by digging which is forbidden in most place. (those measure had to be taken after random badly educated people dug huge pits everywhere without even carrying to fill them back once they were done) For some time we traveled the area looking for either work sites, road cuts or even sand piles. We managed to actually find a sand pile and forest roads freshly covered with fossiliferous sand. So we started to investigate. I wasn't looking for more than 10 minutes that i spotted an unusual shape in the sand. It was a (very) partial campanile giganteum (1 third of the beast maybe a bit more ), but still my best so far. Then after 5 more minutes, the other catch of the day for me : A croc tooth. I had never heard of croc in those layer / area. I knew it was a tooth, but took me quite some feed back tor realize who it belongs too! After some reading (the complete listing of eocene fauna), there are 3 mentions of crocodile in the lutetian. So here it is : (size between 1,5 and 2 cm) My girl friend catch of the day was a very nice conch : lapparia musicalis No picture of this year specimen but here s one i found in 2011 Friend that came with us found a partial Hypocrenes, but still a cool find. To finish for today another cool find for the day : Xenophora schroeteri, a fascinating gastropod which agglomerate random stuff around to protect itself (other shells, gravel or even shark teeth or coral) Edit : "Carrier shells" is the english expression apparently You can see more of that stuff either in TFF here : 2016 lutetian TFF galery or on my flickr : 2016 lutetian flickr galery Next post i ll present you some of the emblematic species !
