Knightia eocaena from the Green River Fm, WY. I know it's a bad picture but up close you can see everything from fin impressions to inner organs. :blub: :fishies: ;)

This is the first fossil I ever remember getting, and it is very dear to me. :wub:

What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read. Many a new page I fancy will yet be opened. -- Edward Hitchcock, 1858

well, I can't be sure of the fish ID but a little research shows it comes from the Pietraroia Plattenkalk in Italy. Ciro kinda gave it away ;) Ciro = Skippy = Scipionyx

Nice fish BTW! :)

Here's my Diplomystus Dentatus fish i received in the mail today. I got it on Ebay for 75 US dollars, and i reckon it's pretty darn good. Best one i saw on Ebay. The fish measures 8.5 inches and the bones look great. I know it's a common species but it's still better than any other fish i saw for sale under $100.

Hi Bubonius,

I believe this nice fish being a lantern fish. Could be a Lampanyctus or a Myctophum...
