piranha Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Nice acquisition Henry! I'm a little skeptical of the data provided with your fossil. Eurypterus remipes is a North American species and the record for eurypterids from Pakistan seems to be in question. Attached is a useful paper of global distribution for the various genera and species. Perhaps you can discover more precise collection data from your trading partner? Enlighten us please!

piranha Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Glad I did not give up. Try a google search for Baltoeurypterus. That is synonymous with E. tetragonophthalmus and each appear to be valid. There are so many scattered about that region you might want to check which has precedence. Plenty of pdf's for you to research Henry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannotitan Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) It is interesting, do you have shark teeth in China? I live in Kyiv, and there are biiiiiiiiig sand inwashes, and there some interesting fossils can be found. I made a website about these fossils(I'd like to change photos there, so it is yet under construction). I go there every Sunday, and found some fossils: many shark tooth bits + 7 complete(Otodus mugozdarhicus, Odontaspis, Heterodontus, some Squaliform and perhaps Cretoxyrina; I was there 6 times), many mammuthic bones(tusk bits: big and small, recently found part of astragalus, three complete rodent skulls, someones lower jaw and more than two hundred unidentifieble bone pieces), belemnites, crabs(4), and Paleozoic: corals and Agnatha. Fossils are from Devonian, Cretaceous, Eocene, maybe Miocene and Pleistocene.

piranha Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 strangely, china doesn't have any shark teeth! nor echnoids or starfish. interesting! almost all fossils here are from sedimentary beds... Henry, You might want to double check that info. There are certainly records of shark and starfish fossils from China. Additionally, here is a paper that popped up on google that lists over two dozen fossil echinoids from China. Always cross-reference the data and remain thoughtfully skeptical.
