AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Limestone slab containing the imprint of a well-preserved fossil fish. The fish is visible in relief, with a clear bone structure and very well-preserved fin details. The matrix is a light, compact rock that highlights the contrast with the darkened/golden color of the fossilized bones.
The slab is displayed on a support (as shown in the photo), ideal for display on a shelf, in a showcase, or on a desk. It is suitable for fossil collectors.
