Description from the seller
Scientific name: †Diplomystus dentatus - Fossil Fish
Location: Kemmerer, Wyoming, USA
Geological Formation: Green River Formation
Age: Paleogene, Eocene (~48-51 million years)
Size: Plate: 15x13x1,5cm - The fish: 14,2cm
Ref: S300
Observations: Beautiful large fossil fish (Diplomystus dentatus species) from the Eocene Age Green River Formation of Wyoming (USA). The specimen is wonderfully detailed, and mainly the head ("skull") its truly well preserved. The specimen is completely natural, however this specimen has been lightly excavated around its outline to make it stand out (highlight). It has also been given a color enhancement treatment to make it more striking, while also serving as a preservation treatment.
Fifty million years ago ancient Fossil Lake existed in what is now southwest Wyoming. The unusual chemistry of fossil lake prevented decay and scavenging of dead organisms while millimeter-thick layers of alternating limestone matter slowly accumulated. The result is laminated limestones that contained the highest concentration of fossil fish in the world.
Since the discovery in the 1870's, many perfectly preserved fossil fish have been recovered. Preserved with the fish in the laminated limestone is a complete aquatic ecosystem: plants, insects, crustaceans, amphibians (frog and primitive salamander), alligators, turtles, birds, mammals, etc
