This is a fabulous specimen of Lycoptera sp. from the Jurassic of China. This fossil fish has excellent detail - the bone structure of the fish is clearly defined. Even the dark-colored eye and long fins are easily seen. The natural, dark-brown color of the fossil contrasts beautifully with the tannish-grey matrix. The fish is well showcased on the natural plate of shale that contains a rare plant fossil on the back side. This is a very fine example of a fossil fish from the time of the dinosaurs.
