EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Pycnodus zeaformis Longbottom, also known as the "Corn-on-the-cob fish tooth plate," from a paratype specimen found in the Lower or Middle Eocene phosphates of Tamagu?lelt, Gao region, Mali. The fossilized tooth plate belongs to a bony fish species that roamed the African waters millions of years ago.
The image showcases the unique anatomy of this ancient creature, with its sharp teeth and distinctive shape. The mineralized remains provide valuable insight into the prehistoric world and serve as a reminder of the diverse marine life that once inhabited these regions.
As we marvel at this well-preserved specimen, we are transported back in time to an era when these fishes swam freely in what is now modern-day Mali. The intricate patterns on the tooth plate tell a story of evolution and adaptation, highlighting the beauty and complexity of nature's design.
This print serves as a window into Africa's rich paleontological history, offering viewers a glimpse into a world long gone but not forgotten. It is a testament to our fascination with fossils and our ongoing quest to unravel the mysteries of Earth's past.
