Hello,

Could you tell me something about this fossil fish? How much is worth and where I can sell it in Europe? It has 57 cm (22,8 ").

It is from the Cretaceous Santana Formation in Brazil; someone here can probably identify which species.

It is a Vinctifer comptoni, as Auspex says, from the Cretaceous Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Ceara Brazil.

It is easily identified by the large, thin, rectangular shaped scales.

Neat fossil.

Check eBay for comparable prices.
