Bargain, 14.5" Phareodus Fish Fossil - Huge Fish!
This is a partial Phareodus collected this summer from the Green River Formation. It's missing it's tail and is 14.5" long as is, so it would have been a whopper of a fish. Comes with a display stand.
If you look closely you can see how Phareodus has a mouthful of sharp pointy teeth making is a voracious lake predator. In fact the name Phareodus actually means "to have tooth" Spines from other fish such as Mioplosus and Priscacara have frequently been found preserved in it's stomach.
