Thanks Tim,

fossils and especially fishes in the Upper Bunter Formation in Germany are quite rare. But occasionally you can find fish gatherings.
In the mid '60ties, almost 60 of these Pericentrophorus minimus were found together with nearly 200 of these strange looking Dipteronotus aculeatus (Jörg, 1969) in a small clay lens, just 10m in diameter and 30cm thick.
