New Members Charlieshoal Posted August 2 New Members Share Posted August 2 This was found in the area that produced shark teeth. Austin Tx found about 20 years ago. What fossil period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 You probably can't say much more about this than it is a bony fish from the Cretaceous. No skull, no tail, no pectoral, pelvic, or anal fins. The fin exposed and vertebral column are not diagnostic, so, just a Cretaceous fish. @Ptychodus04 Cropped and rotated: Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Ptychodus04 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 The matrix looks like potentially Atco Formation, the oldest in the Austin Group. If that’s the case, it is Coniacian Age. Approximately 85-89 MYA. There’s not enough of the specimen to ID any further than bony fish as @Fossildude19 mentioned. 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
