Partial Gar Fish (Obaichthys) - Kem Kem Beds, Morocco

This is an unusual find from the Late Cretaceous, Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. It's a partial, articulated Gar Fish, Obaichthys africanus. While individual scales of gar fish are common finds, finding articulated specimens, even partial ones like this is pretty rare. The detailed scales can be seen still in place on both sides of the rock. The entire section is 4.1 inches in length. This is actually the first example of an articular gar fish from the locality I've seen myself, though a similar section is described in the paper below.
