TqB Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Not my strong point, but I think it may be a species of Sternotaxis. Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterpillar Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Could be a Plesiocorys Age? Country? 1 http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrmica Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 What a beautiful place to collect at. Maybe an Echinocorys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterpillar Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 No Echinocorys. The periproct is not at the same place. Turonian or Coniacian is a good age for Plesiocorys 1 http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
