I don't think I posted these. A pair of Lyme Regis ichthyosaur tooth, or rather a tooth and the root of a tooth. And a small jaw piece with an unfortunately damaged tooth in, but still a nice piece for my small UK marine collection. Also from Lyme Regis.

We’re allways looking at the same stuff, congrats on getting them:P my ninja skills need some work

Mine appear to be non-existent. How did this slip past my radar? Nice pieces! :D

Thanks.

 

There were quite a few jaw pieces with teeth that I was outbid on lately. So I'm glad I managed to get my hand on this one and the teeth.

Glad you like the teeth!  Australia has multiple sites that produce gorgeous preservation and coloration, as well as very interesting assortments of genera.

I’ve always wondered whether the specimens being sold as dino coprolites from Utah were really coprolites or strictly geologic (what I currently believe) or a combination of both.  I was able to get a really good deal on 14 slabs which were being sold as dino coprolite slabs.  So I bought them (they are in the mail) to take a look under my microscope to see what I can see for myself.  Obviously plant or bone inclusions would be great to find in at least a few of them.  At some point, I’ll post close-up pictures here on TFF of what I’m seeing in them.  Even if the slabs are strictly geologic, several are worthy of displaying.

 

The 14 slabs (from 3 inches to 6.25 inches wide) (from 5 mm to 8 mm thick with a single slab 1.25 inches  thick) (from 95 grams to 190 grams weight):

Nice pickup! Multi molars are super cool, nothing like them around today.

That looks like a multituberculate molar.  If you can take a photo of it looking straight down at the biting surface, someone might be able to ID it to genus.

Today in my mailbox I received something that I forgot that I bid on, it is a piece of the Devonian armored fish Pteraspis, from Ukraine. It is not really something that I collect, but I did like that it was a split piece that had both halves, and the cheap price did not hurt.

Pteraspis belongs to the Family Pteraspidae of the Subclass Heterostraci, aka the heterostracans - a group of Silurian-Devonian jawless fishes that had heads armored with bony shields.  That piece is a shield and it looks like you have part of another one.  The rest of the body was less-protected with small scales though it would be tough to swim if you are covered in armor.  A shield is generally all that is found of these fishes.   

 

That's a good example to have of a group also interesting because these jawless fishes had mineralized skeletons while others including the lineages leading to modern hagfishes and lampreys did not.
