A beautiful example of a freshwater fish called Knightia eocaena, from the well-known locality in Wyoming, USA. A beautiful specimen, 6 mm thick and measuring 7.8 cm x 6.8 cm. The fish itself measures 5.5 cm. The fossil fish has not been restored, but, as with most fossils from this locality, has been touched up with a varnish that enhances its appearance.
