EONS: B46 PRIMITIVE TRIASSIC MADAGASCAR PERLEIDUS, BOTH PLATES! DESCRIPTION: This fossil fish was found as a solid nodule and when split open revealed the stunning fossil fish within. No dyes or colorants have been applied -- this is a 100% "as found" specimen. The following comes from : "Neopterygians (=new fin) account for most of the ray-fin diversity during the Triassic and Jurassic and nearly all of it tafter. They exhibit a suite of evolutionary innovations that include the greater mobility of mouthparts, a reduction in the number and increases in the ossification of vertebrae, the simplification of fin structures, and the transformation of a shark-like tail to more compact, symmetrical and adjustable structure. These innovations, which enhance feeding mechanics and swimming efficiencies, were probably major contributors to their success. Perleidus, a widely distribute fish from the Triassic, is an excellent example of an early neopterygian. It has a free maxilla (rear upper jaw bone). In later neoptergyians, the free maxilla could swing forward as the jaw was opened and increase the internal volume of the mouth. This in turn would create a suction that drew in food. Perleidus also has an internal shortening of the tail and dorsal and anal fins with the same number of rays are t are bony supports within the body." It is very difficult to obtain vertebrate fossils from Madagascar. You can go to 10 fossil shows and find not a single Madagascar vertebrate fossil. During my first trip to Madagascar I was not able to find any at all. It was only by chance that I met a Malagasy in France who is able to supply a precious handful of them every few months. is the specimen's Phylogenic cladogram . You are bidding on both the positive / negative pair as shown at bottom, so you get two fossils for one winning bid!
