22.5" Fossil Fish (Gosiutichthys) Mortality Plate - Wyoming

This is a 22.5 x 14.4" mass mortality plate of detailed fossil herring (Gosiutichthys parvus) 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 course grained mudstone. They are very detailed, with the bony structures, fins, and scales easily seen.

It comes with a metal display stand.
