lissa318 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Calvert Cliffs material from Cowshark again! Any thoughts on these? 1. 2. Have a couple like this. Identifiable?! I wasn't sure... (see little predation marks?) 3. Paddle bone? 4. Is this mammal? 5. Guessing coprolite? (Both sides) Thanks for looking!

Auspex Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Does 3 look like a pufferfish gill plate to anyone else? What does the other side of it look like?

Here's a pic of it Auspex. And thanks Al Dente! The similarity was uncanny I just wasn't sure if there was anything else that resembled it also. Appreciate it!

Al Dente Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Does 3 look like a pufferfish gill plate to anyone else? It is from a pufferfish but is not the gill plate. The bone is called a postcleithrum and is found around the pectoral area of the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
