Fossil Fish 2 Knightia Gastropod Layer Green River Formation Wyoming COA

Description

Here is a nice looking fossil fish plate from the world-famous fossil beds of Fossil Lake, Green River Formation, Wyoming. From the Eocene, 52 million years ago.
There are 2 dark Knightia fish from the popular Gastropod Layer of Fossil Lake. Fossil fish from this area are commonly dark in pigment.
The Gastropod Layer is known for sometimes containing some fossilized gastropod shells in the matrix. There is evidence of a gastropod shell negative just under the belly of the top fish.
There is also a small partial piece of a fossil fish in the bottom corner of this plate. Also, the back of the plate contains a partial unprepped fish fossil. Cool!
Each specimen measures between 4.1" and 4.7" from tip to tip. The plate is about 6.5" x 6.3" and weighs 2 lbs. 11.90 oz.
We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity).  Some words of caution about COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the fossils. We have been working with fossils for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. In addition, the person selling the item is often the one who writes the COA (potential conflict of interest). Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, tied to that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any fish fossil.  We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject.
