    This is a specimen from the German copperslate (coppershale), Upper Permian, Zechstein.
    If I see the photograph, I thinks it comes from Richelsdorf locality.
    The information from the label shows that it came about 1860/70 in the collection to you.
    The name is now Palaeoniscum freieslebeni Blainville, 1818 (not Ag. = Agassiz 1833/45)

    For further informations please ask.

    Greetings
    Silvio
