Here is a grouping of four Knightia eocenica fish fossils, found near Kemmerer, Wyoming. 
They are from the Green River Formation and approximately 48 million years old. The largest fish is 9 cm long.

Comes with a display stand.

Knightia is an extinct genus of freshwater, ray-finned predators that are distantly related to modern herrings and sardines. 

The anoxic conditions at the bottom of Fossil Lake slowed bacterial decomposition, prevented scavengers from disturbing corpses, and most interestingly, suffocated creatures that ventured into the oxygen-starved aquatic layer. The result is a miraculous exhibition of Eocene biota in a subtropical, aquatic community within sycamore forests teeming with creatures such as freshwater stingrays, dog-sized horses, menacing alligators, early flying bats, and one of the first primates.

Slab is 18 x 12,5 cm.
One corner of the matrix (lower right) is glued.
Fishes are no restored of painted.


Paleogene, Eocene (56 - 33.9 million years)
