Description: | This Leptolepis fossil fish is preserved in the famous Solenhofen Limestone of southern Germany. The Solenhofen Limestone is famous because several very good specimens of Archaeopteryx (one of the earliest fossil birds)have been found there. This fish lived in a lagoon (a lagoon is an area of shallow water that is protected from the open sea, often by a coral reef). | 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 |
