AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An impressive and exceptionally well-preserved specimen of †Jinanichthys longicephalus from the Early Cretaceous of China, measuring approximately 27 cm in length.
This remarkable fossil features a distinctive elongated skull, articulated vertebral column, beautifully preserved fins and delicate fin rays, with three-dimensional bone preservation that gives the specimen outstanding depth and visual appeal.
The rich copper-brown fossil contrasts beautifully with the natural grey matrix, making it a striking collector’s and display piece.
Elegant Solid Marble Display Base
The specimen is presented on an elegant, very heavy, solid natural marble base, featuring beautiful brown and cream veining. The substantial weight of the marble provides a luxurious presentation and a stable foundation for display.
Photography and Lighting
Please note: The photographs were taken using a photography light box, which enhances the fossil’s natural colours and details.
Under ordinary natural daylight, the colours appear more subdued than in the photographs. However, warm LED lighting brings out the beautiful copper-brown tones and creates a visual effect similar to that shown in the pictures.

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.
