This beautifully detailed Knightia Fish Fossil Plate is an excellent example of a fossilised fish from the Eocene Green River Formation.
Knightia fish lived approximately 50 million years ago and their fossils are found in just one location - the Green River Shales in Wyoming, USA. These fish swam in large shoals and make fantastic fossils.
With its fine detail and large size, this fish fossil plate is a wonderful gift for anyone interested in natural history.
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 12cms long.
