Pholidophorus macrocephalus Agassiz 1843.
A really impressive display fish from the famous quarries around Solnhofen in Bavaria. Complete beautifully preserved fish in the centre of a rectangular slab of cream coloured Lihographic Limestone. Lovely detail under magnification of the skull, body and tail. Neat repair to the matrix only just touched the rear edge of the fish. Big impressive Solnhofen fish are usually very expensive. This one is bargain at under £200. N.B.WEIGHS OVER 2.5 KILOS.
