This Fish Fossil displays an incredible level of detail, showing the intricate bones of this beautifully preserved Diplomystus fish.
Diplomystus fish fossils are approximately 55 million years old and are found in the famous Green River Shales of Wyoming, USA. An area synonomus with incredibly detailed fossils such as this one, due to the layers of very fine-grained lime mud deposition which preserved the shape of fins, scales and teeth.
A striking ornament of natural history, this Fish Fossil Plaque is a gift from a bygone era and a truly stunning fossil.
This fossil fish has not been enhanced in any way, just the covering layer of limestone has been carefully removed to present a beautiful fossil, showing the relief of the bones, fins and scales.
The fish is ~13.5cm long.
