Sternberg - A Fish-Within-a-Fish

Sternberg - A Fish-Within-a-Fish

One of the prized fossils at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History is a very unique specimen. It is known as a-fish-within-a-fish and it is exactly what it claims to be. The fossil remains are of two fish, one inside the belly area of the other. Apparently the larger fish had just swallowed the smaller fish when some calamity happened to bury the both of them. This fossil was found somewhere around the Hays area and was instrumental in the formation of the Sternberg Museum. The fossil is on display as well as a replica of Sternberg extracting it from the earth.
