Hello, here is a Big Diplomystus Dentatus Fish fossil with a well preserved PLANT FOSSIL next to the fishes HEAD.... Very RARE and Neat to have both together! All in its BIG 50 Million Year Old Green River Formation Matrix! This fossil was quarried in an extinct lake that is known as Fossil Lake in Lincoln County, Wyoming and dates from the Eocene epoch a CRAZY 53.5 to 48.5 Million YEARS ago!
Here's More Info Long but Interesting.... Fifty-million years ago an ancient Lake existed in what is now Southwest Wyoming, US. The unusual chemistry of the lake created conditions that prevented decay while alternating layers of limestone and organic matter accumulated. The resulting laminated limestone LAYERS contain the highest concentration of articulated fish fossils in the world.... The fish measures around 6 9/16 or 16.8cm and the overall piece or matrix measures a BIG!
11 or 28.2cm at their biggest or from opposing side to side. Please note that a Display STAND is included!
