TyrannosaurusRex Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Picked this fish up at a sale this morning, because I recognized what it was. Unfortunately, half of it is gone. I have 0 experience with Brazilian fish. What species is this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilshale Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I would guess Tharrhias araripis 3 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I think oilshale is right . Looks like Tharrhias araripis. Pictures from CIBELE GASPARELO VOLTANI. 2011.

Since I wasn't able to find a whole lot about the species, is there a way I can learn about them? And also, is there a way for me to restore this piece?

oilshale Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think there is not much prepping you can do. The only possibility would be to do some chemical prepping. If you are unexperienced, this could be fun and you might learn a lot, but it would be rather risky: STANDARD PREPARATION TECHNIQUE FOR FOSSIL FISH FROM THE ROMALDO MEMBER.pdf 1 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).
