Description from the seller

Rajidae spp. | Skate

Living close to the seafloor, skates have a flat body and wide, wing-like pectoral fins that help them glide over the ocean floor.
This transparent specimen reveals the delicate internal structure of the body, with the long tail and fine details of the skeleton clearly visible.
The soft blue, yellow and red tones created during the specimen-making process give it an almost underwater, dreamlike appearance.
A unique piece for collectors who appreciate marine life, natural history and biological art.

● Size: the diameter of the container is 5cm, the height is 15.5cm, the specimen is about 10cm
● Sample source: Yilan (Daxi)/Fishing Port
● External container: leaded glass bottle
● Contents: specimens, non-toxic glycerin with a purity of 99.7%
● Preservation method: do not drop at room temperature, reduce light
●Unintentional bycatch at fishing ports
●With a LED light base
