This is an incredible fossil fish. It is a fabulous Sinoeugnathus fish from the Keichousaur site in China. This specimen is very large (over eight inches long!) and has ultra-superb detail. The entire scale pattern is preserved (rare), and the fins and tail are even intact. This specimen was prepared by hand, not air abraided, so the detail is 100% natural. Under magnification, the scales show their tiny barbs, and the head has minute pimples covering the entire surface! The long, sharp teeth are also preserved and well displayed. The fish is almost perfectly centered on the large, rectangular plate of matrix. This is easily the best example of this type we have ever seen, and I would not be at all surprised if this is the best preserved specimen of this type ever found - I don't see how it could be any better. Again, under magnification, this specimen comes to life! We rarely praise a fossil to this high level, but this specimen warrants it. It is a practically flawless example of this hard-to-find Triassic fish.
