Description
Exceptional Mississippian Period Fossil Fish — Two-Sided Specimen (Siberia)
A remarkable fossil fish preserved in fine-grained sedimentary matrix, this specimen offers a rare dual-sided view of prehistoric marine life from the Mississippian epoch (approximately 359–323 million years ago). Sourced from Siberia, one of the world’s most significant Devonian–Carboniferous fossil regions, this piece showcases exceptional preservation with clearly defined anatomical features visible on both faces. Matrix is ~3.85″ x 3.5 “. Fish are about 2.25” straight line.
Key Features:
Two complete fish fossils — one on each side of the slab, offering unique display versatilityExcellent detail preservation including body outline, fin structure, and scale texture
Natural iron-oxide mineralization creating rich brown tones against the tan matrix
Ready for display — no preparation needed; simply mount or stand as-is
Scientific & collector value — represents an important window into Paleozoic marine ecosystems
The Mississippian subperiod was a time when early bony fishes were diversifying in warm shallow seas. Fossils of this quality and completeness are increasingly scarce, making this a compelling addition to any paleontology collection, natural history display, or educational setting.
