Comments
A complete specimen of the Early Jurassic holostean fish, Semionotus sp. - Species indeterminate - possibly S. micropterus?
This was found on plate with 2 other partial individuals.
East Berlin Formation of Connecticut.
Unusually good preservation of the fish from this site.
The skull is weathered and dephosphatized, due to previous exposure to the elements.
I found this plate on 09/14/2014.
