PERMIAN FISH FOSSIL PARAMBLYPTERUS WITH NICE NATURAL COLOR AND DETAIL
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 an exceptional
fossil of a Paramblypterus
duvernoyi
fish. The anatomical detail is excellent with natural dark brown and orange
tones. A a protective clear sealer has been applied to protect its
fragile nature. The unique shape of the primitive scales are
wonderfully preserved and visible. Fine specimens of this fish
have become increasingly difficult due to the ban on collecting.
This example is an excellent opportunity to add an impeccable example
impression of this very primitive fish to a collection.
Guaranteed
genuine with NO FABRICATION.
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!
