fossilized6s Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Your fish looks similar to a Parasemionotus labordei (type of extinct lung fish). That's one of the better preserved specimens I've seen from a Madagascarian nodule. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yes, like Charlie says, "one of the better ones". RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilshale Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 A Parasemionotidae, but not Parasemionotus labordei (by the way, Parasemionotus is not related to lung fish). This fish seems to be Icarealcyon malagasium Beltan, 1984. If you are interested in the paper from Beltan (in French), send me a PM with your email address. 5 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

This is a rare fish from Madagascar - this thread might be interesting for you: 2 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

abyssunder Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 For a better convenience I prepared the document : L. Beltan. 1984. A propos d'un poisson volant biplan d l'Eotrias du NW de Madagascar: Icarealcyon malagasium Beltan. Annales de la Société Géologique du Nord 103:75-82 Pl. III - Icarealcyon malagasium Beltan 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
