SCOMBRINUS
MACROPOMUS (AGASSIZ)
|
This may be the third specimen ever found.

The
first half of this specimen was found washing out of the clay and it
was obvious that it belonged to a large Scombroid type fish. It was
two weeks later that I found the front part (above) washing from a slip
over a metre away from the initial find. As you can see, the teeth are
clearly visible. In fact I walked past it but then discovered it on
my way home and very lucky to do so as often the other parts are destroyed
by wave action before they can be found. |
