Newest Coelacanth

Recommended Posts

Coelacanths aren't the easiest thing to find (nor the cheapest). Ran into this one a small (5") Triassic Diplurus newarki (from New Jersey - who would have guessed? ;) )

Not the most articulated specimen, but (I think) interesting none the less.

Be true to the reality you create.

Looks like a great specimen to me, articulated or not I'd love to have one. Apparently Coelabanth fossils can be found in my province although I do not know the formation age.

Thanks for sharing.

Frank.... well spotted.... will you mount that to something and reconstruct it.... If done properly and the rock re- shaped, you could 'emphasize' the outline on the infil section of the missing bit... Im sure this could be done mounted so the pieces could be removed if you want to... I think its great.....Thanks for sharing it....

Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... :)
