DescriptionRough, watercolour sketch of a nearly complete skeleton [minus the head] of the fossil fish Microdon abdominalis Agassiz, by Charles Weber, [1831]. Found in Solnhofen, from Munich Museum.

Note: captioned 'Familia Scomberoidei. Tribus: Pyncodontes Agassiz'. Also Weber's signature also states 'del 35' but this appears to be a running count of drawings made rather than a date.
