TyrannosaurusRex Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 The bones are nice on both fish, and the seller did tell me he had done some touch up with paint for the edges of the skin, which I am perfectly ok with. Cool thing is that the seller found everything he had in his booth. Really nice stuff, and a really nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone guy Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I love the association on this plate. Fossils like this are so cool because they are pictures of the prehistoric ecosystem. So awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Nice piece. Though it should probably be titled "Mioplosus-choking-to-death-on-a-Knightia." Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's tough enough to get two different organisms on a plate so getting that third one makes it a fantastic association piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
