Hi everyone! Can you help me ID this fish? My friend give me this one but he don't know the provenance of it, so I think it maybe belong to common fish such as knightia / Lycoptera / Dastilbe that are sale on many fossil shop. It preserved an eye as well and still have a up fin near the end. Thank you.

Alternative combination: Lycoptera muroii (Takai 1943). Originally described as Asiatolepis muroii Takai 1943, this fish is considered by most authors to belong to the genus Lycoptera. Zhang (2010) removed L. muroii from the genus Lycoptera and resurrected the original genus Asiatolepis. Taxonomy from Zhang 2010. Emended diagnosis from Zhang 2010. "Interfrontal suture sinuous, first and second infraorbitals narrow, fourth infraorbital nearly semicircular, parapophyses small, pectoral fin rays I+6-7+L pelvic fin rays I+4, dorsal fin rays I+7-8, anal fin rays I+9-10, vertebrae 40—41, hypurals 8."

I am a fossil collector in Hong Kong and I keep seeing lycoptera for sale everywhere in local fossil shops. However,fossils like lycoptera are from China and it is difficult to prove its export date,if not impossible.Yet I know for a fact that it isnt illegal to keep them here and some fossil collectors even bring rarer Chinese fossils on TV shows and mall exhibitions locally(psittacosaurus and dino eggs).Thats why Im conflicted between shall I acquire one or not and want to hear your opinions on this

I received this fish as a gift and have a few questions. 1. is there added paint? I know some of these have paint 2. is it preserved from the top or the bottom? Can’t remember the terms ventral and not sure about the other 3. is this a gastropod it appears it have a gastropod shape 4. what are these small things in the middle of the spine?

I once in awhile check out the auction sites just to see what is posted. I do buy things once in awhile but very rarely. Today I was checking out some fossil fishes from china. Lots of the common fish, Lycoptera davidi being posted. All looked really good! Too good! I used that magnifier thingy and took a closer look. To me it was painfully obvious that the fins were painted. Buyer beware!!! and good luck RB

Hello I'm a newbie fossil collector (and newly active member) who happens to several interesting fossils for a decent price from our favorite auctions sites 1st is are Knightia. The seller claims that they are not restored or enhanced 2nd set are 4 Spinosaurus teeth. The seller claims that cracks have been repaired, but no restoration or composition has been made (Pictures 2-9 of teeth in pairs) 3rd is a Lycoptera which the seller claims is not restored or enhanced 4th are plates of Elrathia Trilobites from Wheeler Formation 5th are Fossil Ferns from Llewellyn Formation 6th is a Hyracodon jaw fragment I would like to ask if the sellers' description of the items are accurate and/or if they are restored, enhanced or composites. Cheers!

Hello, Could this little fish have been a bit painted or does it seem totally natural preserved? Thanks for the help!

From the album: Fossil Fish
A fossil Lycoptera davidi (Wolf Fin Fish) from Liaoning, China. Late Jurassic - Cretaceous. Dorso-ventrally compressed aspect. I have framed and labeled (temporarily. I will print off a proper label soon) this specimen and it looks great on my desk! -
