Priscacara Fossil Fish Limited Edition Print

Priscacara serrata

Probably Nick's most interesting assignment to date.  This piece is a reconstruction of 50 million year old fossil from the Green River Formation in Wyoming.  In order to determine the likely real-life coloration of this fish, Nick had a series of correspondences with Dr. John Whitlock of Mt. Aloysius college, an expert on this species' lineage.  Serrata's closest relatives are the Moronids--Striped Bass, Yellow Bass, White Bass.  Surely a perfect geeky conversation piece for your home or office.

Nick recommends size:  MEDIUM

Hand-signed prints are printed, inspected and signed by Nick himself. He then ships your print to our expert framer who mats and/ or frames your prints and ships them to you. All of this is done by hand with great care to ensure a quality crafted product. These are hand-made custom frames, hand-cut mats, and hand-signed prints, so they are not an off the shelf item. So that is why they take longer: 7-10 days turnaround time on the hand-signed matted & framed pieces only.  These all ship via UPS Ground. If you have a rush order, a specific date you'd like your piece delivered on, or anything unique you feel you need to tell us, please note this in the Notes section on the checkout page and/ or Contact Us. Thank you for your patience with these hand-made, unique works of art.

My mission as an artist is to inspire an appreciation for and curiosity about nature and its creatures by communicating the aesthetic beauty of this planet’s amazing creatures as they really are.

It is my hope that this appreciation will result in acts of empathy & stewardship towards these incredible creatures portrayed in my paintings.
