About a year ago or so I went back and forth with a guy who sells ancient fossil fish from the Devonian period. I did end up buying a small fish from him but he also learned that I loved to prep fossils during one of our back and forth conversations. About 3 months ago he contacted me and offered me an unprepped Osteolepis macrolepidotus. I took a chance and bought it. Wow! Turned out fantastic! Took me 3 prep sessions but had tons of fun with this project. I have also turned this project into a prep video but its not published yet. RB Oh, this project took me about 7.5 to 8 hours of total prep time

Just acquired a nice Osteolepis from the Old Red Sandstone of Scotland! I love the scales on this fish, each one is like a shiny black gemstone. She now lives at the bottom drawer where I keep my oldest Fossils.

Hello everyone I bought this fossil fish online recently. It appears to have disarticulated insitu (which really spoke to me about how I feel about 2020 :-D). It was advertised as Osteolepis panderi originating from the Sandwick Beds. However I know that this cannot be right as Osteolepis Panderi is a mid devonian fish but the Sandwick Beds are early devonian. I figured there are several options. Either this fish is an osteolepis panderi but not from the Sandwick Beds. Or this fish is not an osteolepis panderi (perhaps osteolepis macrolepidotus) and from the Sandwick Beds. Or perhaps the description is completely wrong altogether! Given the disarticulated nature of the remains I honestly have no idea how to go about ID-ing it. Any thoughts anyone has on this are very welcome. Kind regards

Hi All. Opinions please. I found this item on everyone’s fave auction site. 14cm Seems a side on view? Aside from the obvious repair, any red flags?
