INTERIOR DESIGN FOSSIL RARE TRIPLE PREHISTORIC FISH ROCK SLAB FROM GERMANY Odernheim / Rhineland - Pfalz, Germany EARLY PERMIAN PERIOD: 290 million years ago SPECIAL NOTE: The current laws in this region of Germany now forbid the collection of these remarkable fossils. Such legislation has permanently ended the supply of such magnificent specimens such as this one being offered here. This rare example comes from an old German private collection and was collected long ago before the ban was enacted. With digging in the formation now off-limits, these German Permian fossils are sure to appreciate in value and become increasingly difficult to acquire. This is a superb example of a TRIPLE Paramblypterus fish fossil. With its grouping of three and fascinating multi-level detail of the shale layers, it is a perfect decorator fossil for interior design applications. These fish lived BEFORE the very first dinosaur ever walked the Earth! The slab is shaped to be hung from a wall as shown above and has a fiberglass reinforced back with metal hanger so it is ready to display. Some remarkable features are beautifully seen in the fossils. Scale and fin detail is quite evident. The Paramblypterus was a primitive fish that had an asymmetrical tail with the longer upper lobe having a small edge of fin and the rest being fleshy, covered with heavy scales like the rest of the body. The close-up image shows the impeccable fin and scale detail of this unique anatomy. A highly aesthetic display specimen with beautiful natural color variations in the stone of blue-gray and tan brown. Guaranteed genuine with NO FABRICATION. The Paramblypterus fish was a primitive osteichthyan (bony fish) and a member of the actinopterygians or ray-finned fish. Now extinct, Paramblypterus duvernoyi possessed some very primitive features, most notably, its shark-like tail with a fleshy upper lobe. To put in perspective just how old the Paramblypterus is, these primitive fish were around well before the very first dinosaurs!
