James_R_V Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I went fossil hunting at Tillywhandland quarry on Turin hill, Scotland today and found a complete Mesacanthus mitchelli fossil. It is probably the best one I have found yet. Both the head and tail are present. The head is so well preserved you can see both the gill rakers and eye socket. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
