New Members Spider8ait94 Posted Saturday at 01:55 PM New Members Share Posted Saturday at 01:55 PM Wondering if anyone can help me out with identifying what possible species this fish fossil I have had for a number of years is? It was given to me by a relative who did a lot of work in mining in NSW and QLD of Australia so I believe the origin of the fossil would be from one of those regions. the actual fish in the fossil is approximately 43mm in length from tip of the head to the end of the tail and the head is approximately 9mm wide. i have included an image showing the full piece from the front as well as a close up photo of the fish itself and photos showing the thickness of the stone and the rear side of the stone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
