PERMIAN FISH FOSSIL PARAMBLYPTERUS Odernheim / Rhineland - Pfalz, Germany EARLY PERMIAN PERIOD: 290 million years ago SPECIAL NOTE: The laws in this region of Germany have forbid the collection of these remarkable fossils since 1986. Such legislation has permanently ended the supply of such magnificent specimens such as this one being offered here. This rare example comes from an old German private collection and was collected long ago before the ban was enacted. With digging in the formation now off-limits, these German Permian fossils are sure to appreciate in value and become increasingly difficult to acquire. This is a fine negative impression of a Paramblypterus duvernoyi fish. The fish fossil is oriented where the fish was slightly on its ventral side so that the angle you now see it is slightly from the top down as well as from the side. Nice detail can be seen in this complete example with natural orange hue to the fossil from limonite deposits. All fins are present and multi-layer surface on the original matrix makes an interesting display. Fine specimens of this fish at an affordable price have become increasingly difficult due to the ban on collecting. This example is an excellent opportunity to add this very primitive fish to a collection at a bargain price. Guaranteed genuine with NO FABRICATION. Fossil has been protected with a clear sealer to protect its fragile nature. The Paramblypterus fish was a primitive osteichthyan (bony fish) and a member of the actinopterygians or ray-finned fish. Now extinct, Paramblypterus duvernoyi possessed some very primitive features, most notably, its shark-like tail with a fleshy upper lobe. To put in perspective just how old the Paramblypterus is, these primitive fish were around well before the very first dinosaurs!
