Here is an extremely attractive plate of fossil fish from the Eocene of Wyoming. There are two wonderful examples of Knightia humilis on the slab. Both fish are complete and exhibit fine detail. The bone structure is clearly defined, and the fins are quite distinct. The eye sockets are easily seen, and even the scale pattern is preserved. The fish have great, natural, orangish-brown color and contrast wonderfully with the cream-colored matrix. They are beautifully presented on the large, rectangular plate of shale. This is a very displayable plate of two Knightia from the Green River Formation.
