AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional specimen of Vallecillichthys multivertebratum.
Origin: North America (Vallecillo deposit, Mexico)
Period: Upper Cretaceous
We are offering for sale a magnificent specimen of Vallecillichthys multivertebratum, measuring 133 cm, perfectly preserved on an original slab measuring 143 × 40 × 5 cm.
Predatory species characterized by great agility and speed, Vallecillichthys is known for the rarity with which it reaches such sizes and remains in complete anatomical connection. The specimen presented here is complete, with minimal restorations, and shows in extraordinary detail its slender morphology, typical of an active and swift fish. The preservation quality is exceptional, making it arguably one of the best specimens of this species ever to appear on the market.
To ensure safe and durable transportation, the panel has been permanently mounted on a fiberglass grid.
Due to its considerable size, the packaging box will be very bulky: shipping outside of Europe will therefore incur particularly high costs.
Note: I no longer ship to the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Buyers from these countries can still make offers, but they must provide a shipping address in another country.
