  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Have any catfish fossils? I have seen several for sale on ebay before, shame I didn't have the month to buy them. I have one fossil skull from indonesia, that is supposidly from a catfish. It's about 6" long and is in great condition. Not sure how old though. Looks to be in too good of condition to be very old at all, but is completely fossilized. Not in a compressed plate either it's still completely inflated cranium. I'll try to dig up some pics of it.
 
oh, man that would be like a dream come true. I have searched the internet for years and have only found like maybe 3 or 4 pics of fossil catfish lol. I'll see if I can't find a pic of mine see if you can identify it. Might not even be a catfish, but looks plausible to me. I have seen hundreds of different species of catfish skull, and it looks like it might be one. You da man oddball!

Thanx for the compliment.

Fossil collecting is actually a hobby for me. I found my 1st fossils, on our property in France, when I was 6 and have been fascinated by them ever since. While I do sell fossils, the sales are mainly to advance my collections and pay for field collection equipment upgrades, gas, camping/digging fees, etc.
 
Need an update!
