Ive always been very fond of the fossil fishy's.  I also learned to aquire the little tiny fossil fishy's  too.  I have the little tiny phareodus and the little tiny priscacara, but today whilst going through yet more boxes of stuff, I ran into these little tiny beauties.  The first, a 5/8 inch Mioplosis. 2nd, another Mioplosis measuring 3/4 inch and a very nicely preserved little 1 1/4 inch Knightia.  Really made  my day running into these!!!  Just freakin love these!!!  Life is really good!!!

Aww, how cute :tff:

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

I too, enjoy teeny tiny fish. I was lucky enough to find this neat little piece kicking around.

Erismatopterus?  Never even heard of this fish.   Now I want one.

They're cute little buggers. I wasn't familiar with them either, I just saw them and couldn't resist picking them up.

Lovely teeny fish, guys! 

Here's my little Pycnodont from the Lebanon, just under an inch long.
