Hi everyone! Can you help me ID this fish? My friend give me this one but he don't know the provenance of it, so I think it maybe belong to common fish such as knightia / Lycoptera / Dastilbe that are sale on many fossil shop. It preserved an eye as well and still have a up fin near the end. Thank you.

Hey everyone! I’m trying to understand the difference between D. crandalli and D. elongatus. From what I can find online there seems to be a difference of opinion. Some say they are actually the same species, others say they are two separate species. Is there an official answer? Below is some of the information I found.

D. elongatus seems to be a junior synonym. References: Davis, S. and Martill, D. (2003) The Gonorynchiform fish Dastilbe from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil. 2003, Palaeontology 42(4):715 - 740.

Hey everyone, so I missed out on the little fishes that everyone helped ID for me not long ago (boo hoo!), but I came across these two little ones today and was wondering if they’re also dastilbe? The slab is listed at being 10x7 cm, with the larger fish being 5 cm and the smaller one 2 cm. I love the look of the smaller fish, could it possibly be a fry? Thanks in advance for the tremendous help I know I’ll receive from the wonderful people here!
