Recommended Posts

Hi all, I got this fossil fish from an uncle of mine but he didn't know ID and origin. Could you please help me out identifying the right species? Thank you :)

Hello, and Welcome to the Forum. :)

 

This is a quite nice Vinctifer comptoni from the lower Cretaceous of Brazil, probably the Santana Group, Crato Formation.

Congratulations on a nice fossil gift.
