Dicranurus Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 What are these 2 fossils. They both are from the Khouribga phosphate plateau region of Morocco. The age of these teeth? is mid to late Cretaceous to Eocene (110-68-55 million years ago - Albian - Maestrichtian to Ypresien). "It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living." -Sir David Attenborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one looks like a bony fish jaw section and the second looks like a bony fish vertebra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi, I think the same : Phyllodus, perhaps toliapicus.

Dicranurus Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) The first one looks like a bony fish jaw section and the second looks like a bony fish vertebra. What species that bony fish could be?

siteseer Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 What species that bony fish could be? The jaw section is a little too worn to say which fish. Yeah, now I see the other specimen as a mouthplate. That's what I get for drawing too quick. I must have at least two specimens like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
