A genuine fossil fish of the species Knightia eocaena, preserved within fine-grained limestone from the famous Green River Formation.
Knightia is an extinct genus of freshwater fish that lived approximately 50 million years ago during the Eocene Epoch. These small schooling fish inhabited the ancient lakes of what is now Wyoming, USA, and are among the most iconic and scientifically important fossils from the Green River Formation. Their exceptional preservation provides a remarkable glimpse into prehistoric freshwater ecosystems.
This specimen preserves the delicate outline of the fish, including the body shape, fin rays and skeletal structure. The natural contrast between the fossil and surrounding matrix creates an elegant and understated display piece, while preserving the authenticity and character of the specimen.
Presented on its original limestone matrix, this fossil makes an attractive display specimen and an excellent introduction to vertebrate fossils from the Green River Formation.
