KNIGHTIA EOCAENE FISH FOSSIL
Very well defined Eocene epoch specimen with fins and scales
100% authentic and natural 50 Million year old 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 16.3cm x 12.5cm x 12mm thick
Size of fossil specimen - 13cm x 3.5cm.
The matrix is a fairly hard sedimentary rock with clearly visible layers.
As far as Knightia fossils go, this is a fairly large specimen and will make a stunning display, whether in a comprehensive collection or as a centre piece.
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.
