zonzxcv Real Fish Fossil Comes from The Western Liaoning China for Basic Paleontology Biological 150 Million Years Ago Lycoptera

As a professional Geologist, Ph.D., (retired), this fossil fish, Lycoptera Sinensis, is certified real. This is exactly the way we find fossils at outcrops and quarries. After all year of my professional career I never saved one of these for myself, not even the dinosaur tracks I saw and inspected.Finally, now in retirement, I have a Lycoptera fossil to admire.Thank you so much.Best Regards, Reginald R. Muskett, Ph.D.

I know with fossils they're all unique, but this specimen really is not the greatest quality. The head of the fish is basically obscured and unable to be seen due to the rock it is in. Kinda disappointed, I'd hoped for one like advertised.

Gave as a gift. My friend was super excited to receive a fossil. She loves history!

Looks good, the main fish is relatively clear, there are also two fainter ones on the back that look quite cool as well. Arrived safely packaged with a display stand. I'm thrilled to have it in my collection as it stands out among my plethora of teeth (which I realize sounds odd out of context, its a prognathodon tooth and various shark teeth, I swear). It's lightweight and rather thin, if you're worried about breaking it by dropping it then I'd recommend investing in cyanoacrylate glue like PaleoBOND or even a simple elmers glue with a 1:5 mix with water.Overall, I would probably purchase this again as it's highly giftable and overall a nice display piece if you're looking for something to take up space on a bookshelf.

Beautiful! Able to see the fish very well.Only received one of the 5 ordered.

Great quality for the price and it was a great surprise gift for a friend

Got exactly what I expected, a nice little conversation piece and a little glimpse into earths past history. The fossil is very clear and there are several other fossils in less perfect condition on the back and within the layers of the sedimentary rock.

I know these are natural items, so I expect a lot of variability in the different pieces. The one I received is not as clear as I was hoping it would be, but otherwise it is as expected (hence the four stars). I'm sure it's a matter of the luck of the draw, how detailed your specimen is. The stand is lightweight plastic but works fine for this piece.
