DPS Ammonite Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) I found several Devonian Martin Formation vertebrate fossils near Payson: probably fish. 1: The larger one is about 8 inches between the yellow marks. See detail of photo. Is this a head? 2: is a 2-3 mm piece that sort of looks like a jaw section with teeth. All were left because I have no permit to collect. The rest of the photos are probably exterior fish plates except for 4 which is about 5 cm long. Any possible IDs? Thanks. @oilshale Edited September 3 by DPS Ammonite 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

oilshale Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Sorry, no idea. That's beyond my knowledge. Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 @jdp may be able to suggest something. I recall reading that arthrodire plates are common in some horizons of the Martin. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdp Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Whoa. I'm on the road the next few days but I'll take a look at this when I get back. Some of these look pretty complete and there might be some useful info in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
