Hello together, here is another piece from my late uncles collection. After some pondering I think this is a big fishhead that someone tried to make into a "whole" fish by a real bad prep job. What do you think? Whose head could this have been, Amiidae perhaps? Do you think there is a chance to improve it by further preparation? Best Regards, J

I recently bought this fossil fish at a shop. I don't know where it comes from, how old it is, or what type of fish it is. The guy that worked at the shop told me it might have came from Brazil, but he wasn't sure. The fossil itself appears to be in a clay/sandstone-like concreation.

Is this fish a composite?

Hi I thought this fish was quite interesting but as the seller provides very little information and I see lots of composite fish I wanted to see what you guys thought -
Hello everyone! I need your help again... Around a year ago, my sister bought this small fossil fish for me, as she knows I'm a fan of fossils. She bought it at a stand at an event she went to; and the seller had no idea of the age/location or species of the fossil. All that he knew was that it was a fish. (Which it evidently is...) My best guess is that it comes from Nova Olinda, Araripe, East Brazil (therefore dating from the Early Cretaceous, 120 mya), as the fossil style looks a lot like my Dastilbe elongatus (last photo). Any ideas? All help is appreciated! Thanks again, Max
