Very Rare Tropical Exotic Fossil Fish Antigonia

Description: This is an exceptionally well-preserved, rare and beautiful fossil fish. Note the bony detail, and flamboyant dorsal fin of the Antigonia. These were salt-water fish. The genus is still in existence. Family Caproidae – boarfishes-- fish with a projecting snout. Boarfishes are generally small, with only a few species known to reach a maximum total length of 30 centimeters. It is the first one I have had to offer. Note the photo of the collecting locality.
