Description
Fine Knightia Fish Plate from one of the world's famous Laggerstatten, the Green River Formation in Wyoming. A small portion of the fish fossils from Green River exhibits such fine preservation. The significant extent of soft-tissue preservation that makes the site famous is evident in this specimen
Condition Report
Exceptional and well exposed detail, such as the vertebrae can be seen impeccably. Excellent Bone tissue, and overall specimen, [complete/intact specimen, beautifully and naturally position on Limestone Bed]. The head and Jaw/Mouth area shows exceptional and distinct detail also; excellent preservation to all the key characteristics and features, helping to distinguish this particular Genus of Knightia, relative of the less robust type of Eocene Fish, the Knightia eocaena.Great state of preservation, this plaque specimen is one of few available, as fossil fish plaques of this quality are declining more and more every year, on the fossil sites, and in the Fossil trade
