DescriptionWatercolour of the fossil fish Pholidophorus microps Agassiz, by Charles Weber, [1831]. Found in Solnhofen, from the collection of Georg Graf von Münster, Comte de Münster. According to Agassiz's published text, the specimen was found in lithographic limestone [Solnhofen].

After Weber's signature there is annotated '54' but this appears to be a running count of drawings made rather than a date.
