This 46" fossil fish "Mural" with a 13.2" long Mioplosus, a 6.5" long Phareodus and 19 other fish, would make a stunning centerpiece in any room. It's like having a window that looks under the water and into the past right from your home! Murals like this are commonly made by individually extracting the fish fossils and carefully inlaying them into a larger piece of shale to create a natural aesthetic. This is not the case with this specimen! Each fish is in its natural place within the rock, which is quite uncommon for a fossil plate of this size. These fish came out of the 18 inch layer at the Clear Creek Quarry near Kemmerer, Wyoming.

A combination of natural preservation and skilled preparation brings these prehistoric waters to life in a piece that's sure to be a conversation starter! Backed with wood for stability and having a wall hanger already installed, it's ready to be hung on the wall or mantle right away.
