LiamL Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I found this fish for sale online. There is only one picture and not a very clear one. It's simply described as rare fish. Can anybody tell me if this a fish from the Santana Formation in Brazil? Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilshale Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Rhacolepis buccalis from Brazil. Definitely not a rare fish. 4 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 And I usually ignore claims of "rare" on the auction sites. Sometimes it is true, but other times it is just to attract attention by giving the item a bit more allure. I've seen very common species listed as "super duper ultra rare!" ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Keep in mind that you can't legally export those fossils from Brazil any more. -Joe 1 Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
