This fish has been known for decades among collectors as "Argentina sphyraena" and has only recently been described as Surlykus longigracilis. It is the most abundant fish from the Eocene Fur Formation of Denmark. Etymology: Genus named in honor of professor emeritus Finn Surlyk, The species name is derived from the Latin words ‘longus’ (long) and ‘gracilis’ (slender) referring to the body shape.

I'm hoping some of you have experience with the company and product my question is about. Can anyone tell me if this item looks like authentic Mammoth Fur/hair? I don't know anything about it except that most stuff advertised is actually Yak fur. The dealer has perfect e-bay feedback with over 2200 replies, and apparently she works fossil shows. The colors in this photo are very accurate to what I see when I look at it in my home under a daylight lamp. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I don't know if posting a link to e bay or mentioning the dealer by user ID is allowed, so I will wait to hear from you guys before doing that. Thanks in advance!
