Charlotte787 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Hi guys, I was considering purchasing the attached fossil fish from the Devonian of Scotland. It originates from the Sandwick Fish Beds of Orkney. Any advice with regard to any visible restoration or even its authenticity would be very much so appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 This looks real to me. I think it is ventrally preserved, (belly up) and the skull may be disarticulated, but it looks real to me. Not super well preserved, but, OK. Compare with other images online, to see what I am talking about. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

fossils-uk Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 A rare beastie indeed. would have to pay significantly more for a better example and this will compliment what you already have in your collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
