 A
superb example from Messel,
one of the world's premier Lagerstatten sites. This uncommon species
is the equivalent of the Priscacara from the Green River formation
in the U.S. This particular specimen exhibits significant soft tissue
preservation for which the Messel fossils are noted. Definitely, a
world-class fossil. Notice the EXCEPTIONAL degree of preservation
found. Much soft tissue, including most of the scales can still be
seen, as well as the fine bones of the fins. Those who collect the
fine Green River Eocene specimens of Wyoming will want to consider
adding this fine example of the Eocene of Germany to their collection.
A stunning fossil. |
