Jelte. Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hello! I am Jelte, a boy from the Netherlands. In the summer of 2022 I found a fossil fish in the Gault Clay, by Calais. I have no idea what species of fish this is? I hope you know it. I have no size the jaw is 1 centimeter long. Doe more pictures ask me please.

Fossildude19 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I don't believe this can be identified further than "fish indet.". Fish jaws are not usually diagnostic enough to specify what genus or species. Maybe a look through a faunal list for the Gault Clay would be in order. Nice fish jaw, though.

shark57 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Just to set the record straight, Saurodontinae is a sub-family not a genus. It does contain the genera Saurodon and Prosaurodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
