6.2" Permian Fish (Palaeoniscus)

This is a nice example of the Permian aged, ray-finned fish, Palaeoniscus freieslebenensis. It was quarried from the Marl Slate at Ferryhill, North Durham, England. The fish itself is 6.2" long and located on a rectangle 6.8x4" slab of limestone. The quarries where these fish come from are no longer actively being worked, so there are not many new ones being found.

Comes with a display stand.
