This is a very unusual specimen of Lycoptera davidi from the Jurassic of China. The rare feature of this fossil is that there complete fish preserved on both sides of the plate! The bone structure of the fish is clearly defined, and the large eyes and open mouths of the fish are easily seen. The dark-brown color of the fossils contrasts beautifully with the tannish-grey matrix. The fish are well presented on the large, natural plates of shale. And the one side actually has one and a half fish preserved! This is a very collectibledouble sided fossil fish from the time of the dinosaurs.
