Marco90 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) With pleasure I want to show you my collection of fossils - it's a work in progress. My first piece is this Lycoptera davidi from Western Liaoning, my brother's gift for my birthday. The plate is 13 centimeters long, the fish 8 centimeters long.

Marco90 Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Now it's the turn of this small but beautiful Jurassic Cleoniceras (species unidentified) from Atsimo-Andrefana, in Madagascar. The ammonite is wide approximately 4,5 centimeters. Live it's even more gorgeous, because it's iridescent.
