Neat fossil, Thomas!

Took me a minute to figure out it was two fish! 

Lovely example. Regards,

Thanks Tim,

could have come out real nice, but unfortunately done by crude prep work with rotary tools. I might have to reprep it from the back side with the resin transfer method.

Very cool fossil.  I can easily see the one fish, but not sure how the other is situated?

The same type of fish in front, only upside down, with it's tail covered by the second fish. ;)
