KNIGHTIA EOCAENE FISH FOSSIL  
Eocene period - 50 million year old specimen
100% authentic and natural fossil

 

Knightia was a small herring like fish that lived 50 million years ago during the Eocene period, in what is now an evaporated lake deposit in the south west of the state of Wyoming, USA.
This specimen was collected in the Green River Formation, 5 miles north of a town called Kemmerer in Wyoming USA.
The system that it was collected from is known as the F1-F2 fossil lake deposit.

Total size of plate - approximately 12.5cm x 7.5cm x 10mm thick
Size of fossil specimen - 8cm x 2cm.
The matrix is fairly fragile, consisting of a chalky shale-like sedimentary rock.
These Knightia fossils are a must have specimen for collectors and make a stunning display, whether in a comprehensive collection or on its own.
It can really be described as a piece of art - Earth's ancient art - with a story to tell far superior to that of any modern artwork or artist.

Please have a look at the detailed images to verify condition etc.
Note that the images are enlarged to show detail. Please see actual sizes in description.
I will gladly answer any questions to the best of my ability
