Love that fish! The shed impressive as well. However, now that I can scan Google earth for a copper fish, I think you will need a bigger padlock on the shed :P

Tim, great fish, he just needs to put some scales on it.

Paul,

He tried to scribe some in - here is a close up of the fish -

Not extremely accurate, but for an older guy he did a pretty darn good job. :)

Thats a great fish. I hope you have heat in that shed when you are prepping your finds!

Andy,

I do, but it has not been helping with the deep cold we have been experiencing the last few weeks.

Prep has taken a vacation, unfortunately.

Great Shed! Awesome Fish! I've been looking to do something with my fossil area of the barn and a weather vane sounds like a great idea! Congrats on the Gift! :envy::goodjob:

The more I learn, I realize the less I know.

I like a lot !!!!! A Copper Dipterus, I presume.?!

Thanks John! Me too!

Actually, it is supposed to be a Semionotus.

It was carved out of wood, and then covered in copper sheeting.

He got the outline correct. Details are a bit off, but I don't want to look a gift fish in the mouth.

I am proud of it- though I didn't make it.

My Father-In-Law is pretty talented.
