Bobby Rico Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Another Lycoptera is ventro-dorsally preserved - you are looking at the underside of the fish. I do like this one. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 @Bobby Rico Lycoptera are one of my favorite fossil fish. Have to be careful what you buy - a lot of them are heavily dyed. 1 MotM August 2023 - Eclectic Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Those are beautiful Lycoptera, Bobby! A bit of pin vise work around the edges might expose more of the fins. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Bobby Rico Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 From the celebrated Cretaceous deposits of the Santana Formation of Sierra de Aripe, Brazil, is a very ugly 18cm complete fish: Rhacolepis brama, on one half of a split nodule. I say it is ugly but under the macro lens it is quite beautiful with its crystal preservation , 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) A set of vintage prints of prehistoric history . Zdeněk Burian (February 11, 1905 in July 1, 1981 ,) was a Czech painter and book illustrator. His work played a central role in the development of palaeontological reconstruction of his time. Even today with our deeper understanding of dinosaur’s postures, Burian’s work is still regarded by many as one of the most influential palaeoartists of the modern era. I think as an Landscape Artist working in the sublime I appreciate as much as the subjects matter is that the scenes are very atmospheric portraits of prehistoric dramas.
