30109- Eocene 7.09 Inch Palaeoperca proxima Fossil Fish - Messel Shale Turtle Sister taxa: AnkistrorhynchusPalaeoperca, Micklich 1978 (perch like fish) Osteichthyes Perciformes It was prepared using a classic resin transfer process. Since the oil shales the fossils at Messel are filled with water they would disintegrate if allowed to dry out. The fossils are coated in a layer of resin to create an artificial matrix and then all of the shale is removed from the other side. This leaves the fossil embedded in a plate of hardened resin.
