Here is a rare and nicely detailed example
of a Capelin fish fossil of the species Mallotus villosus preserved inside of a concretion, collected from the lower pliestocene leda clay formation of Besser's Grove, near Ottowa, Ontario, Canada. These uniquely preserved fish have beautifully preserved bone structure and are found by cracking open the hard concretions. These nodules formed within the Pleistocene-aged Leda Clay. This clay formation occurred as a result of an inland sea known as the Champlain Sea, formed from massive glaciers. The weight of these glaciers caused the Earth's crust to sink, which proceeded to be filled in by the Atlantic Ocean following the recession of the glaciers. These waters were home to a variety of marine fauna, including the Capelin. This is an old collection piece and the site is long closed.
