The Shadow Fish (Pricacara)


Now an then we make a nice spilt that reveals the shadow of the fish we need to recover. I have attempted to photo the shadow image of this Priscacara. I used pencil to show the approximate size and outline of the body. At this angle you may notice the vertebrae, head region and dorsal fin.Using a different view (vertical view) and  exposure adjustment one can better see the fish outline .Now we can carefully remove the matrix covering the skeletal remains of the 50,0000 year old fossil fish.
