Notidanodon Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 @Yoda here are a few bits from there, I have more but no access to them at the moment. @FranzBernhard do you have any ideas on ID, I remember you liked rudists. I’ve looked around and can’t find much, however from this publication I know it was found in the campanian-turonian and I found a mention of Hippurites so maybe it’s that? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286328872_Biostratigraphic_analysis_of_Paleogene_lowstand_wedge_conglomerates_of_a_tectonically_active_platform_margin_Zakynthos_Island_Greece 1, this material has been published weathering for thousands of years so a lot of it was fragmented Cleaned and glued (the cracks didn’t match up well due to erosion ) 2. 3. my favourite one 4. this one has a shell I think on the back but I have no idea what it is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranzBernhard Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The last one I don´t know, sorry. The others are radiolitid rudists (cellular structure), not hippuritid rudists. Franz Bernhard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
