New Members Diggler Posted May 17, 2018 New Members Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi there, This is my first post so please excuse any errors. I found this fossil in Brook Bay on the Isle of Wight last year. I would really appreciate some help in identifying it. Someone who runs a fossil shop there suggested it could be part of the jaw of a lepidotes? Any info gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Not a bad suggestion. Not dinosaurian From exact the same locality. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitbat Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Diggler... Welcome to The Fossil Forum. Your specimen definitely has the look of Lepidotes, a semionotid fish from the Jurassic and Cretaceous of Europe and South America. Nice find! -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Diggler Posted May 17, 2018 Author New Members Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks for all the views. I think the Lepidotes is what it is! Need to get back there to find some more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
