description |
|
It is very rare to find such a wonderful and more or less complete Devonian Fish from these classic fish beds of the Orkney Isles. The specimen has stunning shiny scales. The specimen also has a complete head of another Osteoleptis which has been preserved a few inches away from the main specimen. These specimens are highly sought after throughout the world. |
