Nimravis Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Esconichthys apopyris - these fossils are still known by collectors as "Blades" or "Ghosts". I have always known these as being larval lungfish, but I think that is up for debate. Multiple Esconichthys apopyris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
