Description: | Fish scales are tough and are often preserved as fossils. This single scale has a pattern of circular and radial ribs. It is from a slender, spindle shaped type of Coelacanth fish that grew up to about 1m in length and was adapted for life in shallow seas. Rhabdoderma had lobe-shaped fins, two dorsal (back) fins and a distinctive three lobed tail fin. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
