I tried to walk away and let this go, but it’s really bugging me. This fish is confusing the heck out of me. I came across it on the ever popular auction site. The seller states that it is a juvenile Fundulus goreti from the Oligocene in France. The thing that bugs me the most is I can’t find ANY information on that species (apart from one mention in a 1940’s paper)! I’m starting to wonder if it even exists. Also, and I could be completely wrong, I can’t find any information on any Fundulus species in France. Am I not looking hard enough, or the correct way? Am I crazy? Most importantly, can anyone shed some light on what it may actually be?
