Bone guy Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 This afternoon I went to a local rock shop and scored a nice looking Knightia alta, and it's a keeper at about 4.5 inches length. One thing I always do with my fish is check the edges of the matrix for organic material because usually it's a tell tale sign for another fish hidden beneath the matrix. I noticed there was definitely an un-exposed fish, so I got my tools and went to work. The first thing I exposed was skull material which is purty cool, but soon enough I was on the trail of a complete string of verts! After about 3 hours of chiseling I ended up with.....well......I'm not sure what this is. My first thought was a Mioplosus but now I'm having some doubts. Im starting to think it's some kind of Knightia. But even if the fish can't be ID'd I'm still happy because I think it complements the K. alta quite well .
