Fossil Fish Eomyctophum from Carpathian MountainsDescription: This fish is from the family Neoscopelidae. The fish is in excellent condition with very detailed fins, head and body. Not the large head. The preservation of this one is perhaps the best I have seen to date. It is a rare species from an unusual locality.

The Carpathians offer one of the world’s premier collecting sites for Oligocene fossil salt-water fossil fish. Note the photo of the collecting locality.
