Description from the seller

Museum-quality mortality plate from Asia.
All of these specimens show fine detail—the heads, fins, and bones.
As with many specimens from this locality, the collectors usually apply a coat of brightening paint to outline the shape of the fish.

Many specimens are also shown on the back of the plate, giving an idea of the heavy mortality index.

Seller's Story

I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world. Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan. Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us. Don
