Not so sure this counts as baby fish are actually minnows.

Here is a small one I collected in 2004 and then the other fish has a baby about to drop.

The baby is there, but it's late. Maybe a New Year's baby.

Both are 50MYBP Eohiodon rosei fish from McAbee, BC.

Here's a few babies from my collection.

Really love the thread, Jim- such amazing specimens. Here's one of mine, a complete Mucrospirifer sp. My camera hates it but loves Mr. Lincoln's ear.

Wow! Nice colors....

The ones with the 'zebra' stripes.... Are those grooves on the shells, or are they residual pigmentation?

The "stripes" are preserved color bandings.

Color and color banding preservation at this locality is outstanding...

especially noticeable with the "babies".

It's understood that color preservation is debatable, however,

when wet ... the "babies" look like they are alive.

Are those crinoids not blastoids? They look so to my minimally-trained eye. They are great either way.

Yep, they are crinoids. Coincidentally as I was looking through some old rock I left out to weather (to isolate brachiopods and other fossils) I found another juvenile eucalyptocrinus (and an impressive dalmanites eye) after posting.

These were all found together in a 'nest'.

Context is critical.
