I am so sorry to hear of you sad news ,god bless you my dear friend and I do hope your art is feeling better .What a unique looking capture and you did a great job capturing the detail of this fossil fish with great detail and lovely light ,plus not bad composition too and thank you for sharing this photo with us.You would like me then as my wife calls me a old fossil in my ways lol.I suppose I am,

Fossilized Flounder? $100.00 is a little steep for my wallet, Connie. So sorry for your loss, though it is nice to remember your late husband with the hobby you both shared.

I like old fossils myself..Some say I'm one...A picture that brought a smile to my face...R.

Great shot Connie,Nicely captured.

Nice capture, Well done Connie.

My husband would say that the fish was a relic from our early married meals! lol :)

I think this is a wonderful keepsake for you Connie, a good post. I'm sorry to hear of your loss, by other half passed away a year ago this past June. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Sorry to hear of your loss, Connie. Hope you're keeping busy.
Have you ever been to Rock Hound state park? It's just South of Deming, New Mexico,and you're allowed to go in and dig without any charges.
Nice work with good detail on your pan fish.

A funny post Connie and a very interesting find as well - I'm sorry for the loss you've suffered this past year - I hope you are managing ok.

Connie, I am sorry for your loss. November was just here, it seems. My wife and I actually visited metro parks and that activity lasted our whole time together.

Any idea how old this fish is? He is in far better shape than me (except for being in a skillet)! lol.

From Wikipedia:
The Green River Formation is an Eocene geologic formation that records the sedimentation in a group of intermountain lakes in three basins along the present-day Green River in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. The various fossil beds of the Green River Formation span a 5 million year period, dating to between 53.5 and 48.5 million years old. This span of time includes the transition between the moist early Eocene climate and the slightly drier mid-Eocene.

Well, did you buy it yourself?...lol...Such a great find and shot!! Sorry to hear about your husband, Connie. Hope things are settling down a bit for you now. Wonderful capture!!!

Now Connie, this is second time that I learn from you - the first time being the new word "verdant" and now this inspiration regarding geology or in my case this will be rather palaeontology which used to be my passion when I was at high school. Still this is the thing about "digging for free" according to our sweet Doug!:)
Thanks, dear friend.

That makes for a fun shot, I think I have been served fish like that in the past too. Sorry to hear of your loss, and also noticed we are from the same part of the country. I'm just north of the border, and a big Sooner fan all the way!

Losing a loved one is so hard, the pains do east a bit..but the memories stay with forever!...Good that you both enjoyed the time with something that interested you...

Good image of an abstract portrayal...Could you make mine with 'chips' next time though..☺

Hope you are recovering from your loss Connie. Here on caedes you have made friends and this will at least help to take your mind off your sorrow.Wonderful shot of this fossil. The details are so clear. God knows how old that must be!

Looks a little:The turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a species of flatfish in the family Scophthalmidae. It is a demersal fish native to marine or brackish waters of the North Atlantic, Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Great capture, Connie.

I am sorry for your loss and it sounds like this would have been one he loved.

I am sorry for your painful loss. This is a great idea and excellent realization. Good for you, Connie.

Sorry for the loss and I know he's watching from above and loving this post. What a wonderful fossil to find

I ordered the bacon and eggs, so don't go expecting a tip. I'm told I have rocks in my head, does that count as a fossil?
An interesting find and capture, Connie. Nice details in the pan-fried fossil.
