    A very nice fossil fish!   But how come there is never anything for scale?

    Ron,

    I agree, it would be better to have something for scale. But I am currently in Shanghai and my collection is mothballed in Germany. These are mostly old pictures I have on my computer.

    At least the length is given under "Details": 10cm
