1.4" Fossil Fish (Gosiutichthys) - Wyoming

This is a small plate with a detailed fossil herring from the Green River Formation of Wyoming. It comes from a different location than most of the Green River Fish fossils, representing the ancient Lake Gosiute, not Fossil Lake. The preservation is also quite different compared to the fossil fish found in the Fossil Lake deposits, being a coarse grained mudstone. The fish is very detailed, with the bony structures, fins and scales easily seen.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
