Offered is a good sized (25cm) complete and fine example of the classic Middle Eocene fish Cyclurus kehreri from the world famous Messel Pit at Darmstadt, Germany.
Laterally reserved and transferred to a resin base in the time honoured way, this displayable specimen is complete with dorsal, pectoral and ventral fins well preserved and in fine detail, and so too the tail fin. The skull is exceptional, with lower and upper jaws with minute but exceptional dentition (best seen under magnification); there are at least 20 teeth, including a full set of smaller teeth in the rear of the jaw!
The vertebral column is complete and well preserved in good relief; all body scales too are intact and undisturbed. In all a very displayable, quality example for the specialist.
The Messel pit has long been closed to collecting, and any quality fossils are very much at a premium...................
Resin matrix approx.27cm X 9cm.
Although I sell a very wide range of fossils from Pre- Cambrian to Pleistocene age, I specialize in trilobites from all over the globe and in particular, British species.
I collect regularly in the UK, with more than forty five years of fieldwork experience and probably the best working knowledge of British trilobite localities. I have a doctorate and a masters degree in trilobite taxonomy and British Palaeozoic stratigraphy and an Open University degree in Natural Sciences.
If you are an amateur collector, a more serious scientific collector, or an agent for an educational organization ( e.g College, University or Museum), I can supply materials to suit your needs! I also buy whole collections and trade materials too. Visits are welcome,by appointment only.
