Vinctifer Comptoni Naturalis
This is a Vinctifer aspidorhyncid fish, from the world famous Santana Formation, Ceara, Brazil.
Vinctifer fish lived from the Jurassic 160m years until the end of the Cretacious, 65m years ago.
They had long rectangular scales running down the body, and torpedo-like bodies, made for swift hunting, much like the modern day barracude.
The Santana Formation is to be found in North East Brazil, in the Araripe Basin.  The strata were laid down during the early Cretacious Period.  The location produces exceptionally well preserved and diverse fauna & flora.
Over 25 species of fish are known, along with pterosaurs, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and plants.  Many soft parts were preserved during fossilization.
From an very old gigantic life long collection acquired in N. C.   This is a nice approx: 21 Lb limestone fossil nodule in 2 perfect halves (very rare!)  No breaks or repairs (as is common in others you may find... this is a superb specimen!   Never Broken, hence never repaired... however: there is the start of a very almost impossible to see hairline on one of the outer loaf halves.  This piece was separated very carefully, as is obvious... and remains in full intact condition.  Please study the multiple views provided in the detailed photos.  No stand included.
It measures 17 7/8" End To End
Approximate Diameter is 4 1/4"
Weighs:  20 lb  14 oz
