Moroccan Cretaceous fish

Recommended Posts

I was told this fish nodule came from the Anti-Atlas region of Morocco, and is supposedly Cretaceous in age. Can anyone ID it?

A lovely specimen. :)

I believe it is from Goulmima, which is at the foot of the Atlas mountains. 

The fish is known as Goulmimites sp. but whether that's scientifically valid, i have no idea.

Thanks, guys! I have 2 more nodules to prep. A lot of the brown stuff flaked off this one... Any tips on how to prevent that? I think as soon as I uncover a part, I'm going to have to cover it in glue. Gonna be really slow.
