oilshale Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'm sorry, but I'm in a lot of trouble with the fish of Jurong, Jiangsu myself. The literature is contradictory, partly I only have bad copies and the different species look relatively similar. To determine the fish one would have to see the head bones - unfortunately they are not visible here. For sure not Sinolepidotus. These fish are often sold under the (invalid) name "Lepidotes jurongensis" or as Plesioperleidus.

This specimen seems to be preserved well except the head which is said to be crystallized. I have seen some others which usually have no tail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you could glue the head together and prep the head from above. 1 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

I don't have the fossil fish in my hands. As the fossil digging site at Jurong no longer exists, that means there is no more concretion fish from Jurong other than those collected before, there are not many available for sale and they are rather expensive. I am still thinking whether I should acquire this, for it is preserved quite well, except the head. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Being that the head bones are not there, and cannot be ID'd, my idea of expensive would be about $100. Just my opinion. Would love to have one though. RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
