caldigger Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 There are some seriously amazing pieces on here. Charlie, this looks like you just pulled a fresh goldfish out of the bowl and plopped it on a nodule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamL Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 This was one of my first ever fossils. It’s a fish, Probably Rhacolepis buccalis from the Santana formation, in Brazil. It’s a negative impression, I wish i had the positive impression of the guy also! Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully i can get around to snapping pics and posting them. Got a few that need a full prep. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigantoraptor Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I don't have much complete fishes (only Lycoptera davidi and Dastilbe sp.), but what suprised me a bit was when I looked to the Lycoptera under the microscope. For such a tiny fish he has a lot of sharp teeth. Lycoptera davidi, Yixian formation in Liaoning, China. Early Cretaceous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like it was coated with something. Is that correct? I've never seen one shine with flash reflection before.

We had a zone on our property that was blasted out in preparation for a motel but it was never built. The end result was a massive blasted out shale wall right on our property. But unfortunately I was not in to fossils back then so it never crossed my mind to go look. Kick myself every day over that. But these fish are very cool. Coelacanths are a favorite of mine!
