Product information "Knightia eocaena - herring fish"

Herring fish: Knightia eocaena

Age: Tertiary, Middle Eocene, Green River Shales; (approx. 45 million years old)
Locality: Warfield Springs, Wyoming, USA
Size of the fish: approx. 4-5 cm on a 7-8 cm matrix

The shape of the fish is lightly traced with a brush.
The slab limestones of the Eocene Green River Formation are in no way inferior to the famous Solnhofen slab limestones in terms of preservation quality and are sometimes much more abundant. Knightia is the most common fossil in the deposit and is synonymous with it. Knightia was a species of freshwater swarm fish. It is always found in large numbers in fossil form. Therefore, it is assumed that they often fell victim to events such as algal blooms.

The photo is an example illustration.
You will receive a fossil of the same quality.
