Product information "Knightia eocaena on matrix, 4-5 cm, Tertiary, USA"

Herring fish: Knightia eocaena

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 Limestones in terms of preservation quality and are also in part much more productive. Knightia is the most common fossil in the deposit and is synonymous with it. Knightia was a 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.
