Ruger9a Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hey guy & gals, I am having a problem seeing the "loads of tiny teeth" in the crumpled/chewed up Ichthyosaur rostrum mandible section. Can someone point them out to me? This specimen is from a very reliable dealer. It's from the Lyme Regis, Dorset, England and is Jurassic. I know they're there somewhere but can't seem to find/see them. My age may be effecting my eyesight LOL. By the way, I took these photos with my new Veho VMS-004 microscope recommended by Christian about a month ago. Still trying to get used to it but I think my closeup photos will be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Not sure if it is "loads of teeth" or one really broken tooth. I'm guessing this is what they are referring to. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Ruger9a Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Thanks Tim, was beginning to wonder if it was just me. I forgot to mention the measurements, it's 32mm x 25mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike from North Queensland Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The specimen is small but interesting. I would like to see a zoom in of the lighter coloured area in the second photo as it looks like a small shark tooth is there in the centre of the photo.
