You should submit the fossil fish AND the lobster for FOTM. It will probably be a double win! I loved the video.

Wow that fish is a spectacular find. In the video a little crab floated by the urchin and there was a shell near an ammonite. How big did lepidotes get? It looked like a section of a really big fish. The scales were all articulated and a nice color and there was part of the fin.

I really enjoy your videos.  I am quite envious though at all the ammonites and belemnites.  :wub: :wub:  The fish is, of course, spectacular  :drool: as are the ichthyosaur vertebrae.  Thanks for showing us.
