siteseer Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 There are a few publications that focus on Eocene fossils from certain regions and a few that deal with Eocene fossils within their coverage of Cenozoic fossils from certain regions: Brown, R.C. 1988.

fossilselachian Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Another: London Clay Fossils of the Isle of Sheppey by Clouter, Mitchell, et al. The book was published by the Medway Lapidary and Mineral Society in 2000. The book (soft cover) presents nice photos of many fossil types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rod Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm looking for a reference book for identifying fossilized shark teeth and eocene fossils. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Take a look at www.texassharks.org . You mentioned Eocene, the book on this site centers around sharks and rays of the Cretaceous. - ROD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieronymus Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 An eocene library without this one... Is like a pub without beer. Van den Eeckhaut, G. and De Schutter, P. (2009). The Elasmobranch Fauna of the Lede Sand Formation at Oosterzele (Lutetian, Middle Eocene of Belgium). Palaeofocus, 1: 1-57, 2 figures, 2 tables, 22 plates.

siteseer Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Bobby, Yeah, I should have listed that - still go to it these days and am looking forward to seeing the revised edition (said to include photos of dentitions) due at the end of this year. I just hope to have some extra money for it.
