Hi there,

Found this little one the other day on the cretaceous formation (upper I believe) and was curious about the species. Can someone identify?
Thanks

 Could it be  Eoptolamna maybe ? I know it is known from the Cretaceous of Spain. 

 

No matter the ID that is a fantastic find.

I should say this is an early Cretaceous genus so I am not sure the formation you are in is old enough.

You're right is lower Cretaceous, not upper!
