RARE Adult Fossil Lungfish Pentlandia

Description: This is a rare adult example of the lungfish Pentlandia from the Middle Devonian deposits of Scotland. The largest known adult specimens are some 30 cm in size. Note the fine details present. The opercular scales project from the head, seeming to imply that this one may have died of suffocation. Examples of this taxon are much less frequently seen than those of the more common Dipterus, making this a golden opportunity to add this one to your collection of Devonian fish. The repaired crack detracts but little from such a remarkable specimen.
