Triassic perhaps? I'm afraid I have no more information. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeargleSchmeargl Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 No ID, but quite lovely fish! Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Definitely look like Madagascar Triassic fish nodules. @Fossildude19 or @oilshale should be able to help with IDs. Nice fish!! Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 There was an ID thread on these fish a while back. If my cloudy memory serves me, it was @oilshale that posted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will create a new thread with better examples, but I will need several hours to do so. Thomas Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

oilshale Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 No 2 and No 4: No chance for me - the head bones are too crushed and the angle of view is from below. Has to be determined by a real specialist - I am just an amateur. No 3 might be a Pteronisculus, but I would need a clearer shot of the head region. 1 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).
