Aspidorhynchus acutirostris (Blainville, 1818)
oilshale posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Vertebrates
Aspidorhynchus acutirostris (Blainville, 1818) Late Jurassic Kimmeridgian (late) - Tithonian (early) Painten Formation Painten Bavaria Germany This fish lies in an extremely soft rock and was very difficult to prepare. At the slightest touch (even with a small brush) scales could come off. Unfortunately the top of the skull is slightly dislocated.- 1 comment

What are some of the neatest "slice of life" fossils?
aplomado posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
What are some of the neatest "slice of life" fossils? That is, showing interactions of creatures with each other and the environment. Please post pictures of ones you like This is one I really like: Apparently a pterosaur grabbed a small fish out of the water, but was grabbed by a larger Aspidorhynchus fish; entangled together, they both died and were fossilized, along with the little fish in the pterosaur's throat! https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn26984-stunning-fossils-fish-catches-fish-catching-pterosaur/- 10 replies
