DescriptionWatercolour study of an incomplete specimen of the fossil fish Scylliodus antiquus Agassiz, by George Scharf, 1837. Found in the Chalk from Kent, in the collection of Lord Cole [William Willoughby Cole, later 3rd Earl of Enniskillen].

On the reverse of the drawing is a modern caption stating 'Presented by the Earl of Enniskillen'.

Note: the specimen is clearly the same as that shown in LDGSL/614/3/107, however that drawing states that the fish was in the collection of Sir Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton.
