Scott Forman Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 My dad worked in Brazil in the oil field, in the early 70’, he brought this back to me. I’ve never had anyone look at it or give me any info on the fossil, that’s all I know about it. The entire rock is approx. 4 “ X 8 “. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReptileTooth Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It appears to be a fish in nodule. I'm sorry I can't help further in ID.

indominus rex Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Looks like a Rhacolepis to me. 4 Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It's a fossil fish from I suppose the Santana formation. Rhacolepis buccalis? Can you make more pictures please? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Can you please take a picture form above it and close up of the scales in good light. I think it probably is Rhacolepis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
