ALBULA OWENI

Unique skull of the fish Albula oweni. Usually only small fragments of the dentition is found and then very rarely. This skull was found by a local collector. Danny Hogburn between Hens Book and Barrows Brook ... 30 - 5 - 06. I believe this to be the most complete specimen of this species ever found.
