Solnhofen fossil ID, some fish?

Hi forum,

i recently went to Solnhofen quarries (DE). I found some cool pieces and an amazing little shrimp!

This one piece instead is something a little new to me. It looks half bones half cartilage...i can't tell. It should be something fish-related but i can't tell, it can be something totally different. I'd like to know which part of the body it is to better understand how to continue preparation wihout damaging it. The big middle bone looks strange, very thin and transparent on the border and more thick and orange/brown in the center. same as the cartilaginous part in the left. no clue

i report some flash/noflash picture also in different angles. the sand around is a little dark because it is wet. the total uncovered length is about 4cm

 

Thanks a lot

Best regards

Paolo

an interesting find, but not possible to identify, sorry.

If you can prepp it it will be perhaps possible to identify for clear. I would assume it is a Tharsis-type, but without seeing all or more details (covered under stone) it is hard to say
