Devonian Martin Fm. Fish


DPS Ammonite

Recommended Posts

I found several Devonian Martin Formation vertebrate fossils near Payson: probably fish. 1: The larger one is about 8 inches between the yellow marks. See detail of photo. Is this a head? 2: is a 2-3 mm piece that sort of looks like a jaw section with teeth. All were left because I have no permit to collect. The rest of the photos are probably exterior fish plates except for 4 which is about 5 cm long.

 

Any possible IDs?

 

Thanks.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

Sorry, no idea.  That's beyond my knowledge.

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

@jdp may be able to suggest something.

I recall reading that arthrodire plates are common in some horizons of the Martin.

Whoa. I'm on the road the next few days but I'll take a look at this when I get back. Some of these look pretty complete and there might be some useful info in here.
