This Knightia Fish Fossil Plaque, a remnant of freshwater herrings, was found in an ancient lake bed of
the Eocene Green River Lake system, which existed over
50 million years ago. As time passed, sediment and ash
from nearby volcanos gradually filled the lakes and were
transformed into sedimentary rock; the lake beds were
uplifted and eventually eroded into the desert-butte
landscape of what is now Wyoming. During that process
whole schools of fish were trapped, killed, and
preserved, with Knightia being the most common
fish fossil found.
The fantastic fish fossil we show here is highly
articulated and clearly displays a well-defined skeletal structure.
The dimensions of the fish are 3-1/2" long and 1-1/4" wide
(including the fins). The irregularly shaped plaque in
which the fossilized fish is embedded measures
4-1/2" long, 2-1/8" wide, and 1/2" thick. If
you're looking for larger fossil plates or plates with
multiple fish, e-mail us or call us toll-free at
