Moth.11

Recommended Posts

Good morning. While looking for fossils in the menilite flysch of the Carpathians, I found several specimens of this species of fish that I cannot identify. Is it possible to determine the species? Thanks.

Hard to do with no heads or tail, or complete fins.

perhaps perhaps perhaps Hemithyrsites or Xenomesopelagia, but, without head and full tail, hard to decide

Don‘t think it is Hemithyrsites. More likely Xenomesopelagia (old name Idrissia), Clupea sardinites or Beksinskiella longimana.

Hemithyrsites is a long and slender fish with a long fist dorsal fin and a much shorter second dorsal fin:Ch2276HemithyrsitesspOligoznKrepacPolenNaturalCanvasCh2276.thumb.jpg.d08c96a6833281d5b2c346861ddc7e30.jpg

 

The other 3 fish look quite similar

 

Xenomesopelaga carpathica:
