New Members max pijpelink Posted January 7 New Members Share Posted January 7 Hey there, I found this chimaerid tooth a couple of Months ago in sand deposits from antwerp. It is nothing like the common chimaera tooth you find there usual. It is pliocene in age and after some research it looked similar to Chimaera gosseleti, Winkler, 1880 (now Harriotta gosseleti) . But This species is found in oligocene deposits. The only recent publications about this species I could find was from this site:https://bioone.org/journals/journal-of-vertebrate-paleontology/volume-40/issue-1/02724634.2020.1772275/A-New-Genus-of-Chimaerid-Fish-Holocephali-Chimaeridae-from-the/10.1080/02724634.2020.1772275.short but I dont have the permision to enter this article, the last photo is one of this article I could enter with Google. i hope you can help me identifying this tooth! the squares are 1x1 cm gr max Pijpelink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
