Oddball Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I had the opportunity to work the chalk beds in Kansas some years back. Here are a few fish pieces. They are the jaws of Cimolichthys sp., skull of another Cimolichthys, tail verts and fin rays from Gillicus sp., rostrum and rostral teeth of Protosphyraena sp., 2 pics of a pectoral fin of a Proto., mandibles from a small Xiphactinus audax, and vert/spine hash from another Xiphactinus. 1 When collecting with your dog, 'Beware The Steaming Coprolite'.

Oddball Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 I forgot about this piece hanging in the livingroom. This is a foot long skull of Gillicus arcuatus. 1 When collecting with your dog, 'Beware The Steaming Coprolite'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 I have another fish skull that I've recently started prepping. The skull is pretty large and I'm not sure of the ID yet. The palletized piece weighs in at a tad over 300lbs. The pectoral fin is roughly the size of a dinner serving platter. 1 When collecting with your dog, 'Beware The Steaming Coprolite'.
