Argyropelecus cosmovicii

[thelivingdead531]

Hey everyone! I’m not sure I’m ready to pull the trigger on this fish, so I’d love some opinions. @Fossildude19 Tim, I would really love your opinion on this. I know it’s probably not the best quality, but it’s within my price range with the possibility of getting another fish too. 
 

Here we have an Argyropelecus cosmovicii that is 28mm in length. All that is listed for location is Poland, and age is Oligocene. 
 

Here are the first pictures that were screenshot from the seller’s photos.

 

The next two photos I tried to enhance a bit with a magnifier in my photo app and add a little contrast.

 

Please, all, give me your thoughts! Thanks a bunch in advance!

@oilshale can probably give good advice too.

Thanks! I don’t know why I forgot him.

Another great fish, Candace. 

Not perfect, but great none the less.

Hi Candace, may be not perfect, but it's pretty good. The one I have is no better. Argyropelecus cosmovicii Cosmovici and Pauca 1943 - Fishes - The Fossil Forum

I've been looking for a better piece for a few years now, but I haven't come across a "perfect" fish either.

Thank you, Tim and Thomas! It was one of the better examples I saw, so I was seriously considering it. I appreciate your comments. @oilshale Thomas, I saw your specimen on the front page in collections and it reminded me that I had this one bookmarked in case I got some Christmas money.
