Not really a recreation, sculpture, or artwork but this is my attempt at making a great display piece for my desk. This Lycoptera davidi from Liaoning, China is my only fish fossil and I wanted to frame it and put it under glass. Its more beautiful than the best painting I rekon! I've only put on a temporary label but will make a real nice one. Not sure how or with what yet. I've seen some really cool "murals" with many fish assembled in a collage. Anyone have any "fish fossil art"?

It is a very graceful, living pose for a fossil, isn't it?

I really like it even tho I don't collect fossil fish. The aspect is different from most I've seen. Usually its "side on" which is OK but a little 2D. With this one I can visualize looking down on it while fishing. "Come on...come on....take the bait...YES!....NO!!!...dang Mosasaur stole it."
