This is a very unusual assemblage of fossil fish. It is a very large Phareodus fish and four Knightia eocaena fish from the Green River Formation of Wyoming. Phareodus was a predatory fish, with a mouth full of sharp teeth. This Phareodus is quite large - almost a foot long!. There is also a school of smaller Knightia (herring) fish just under the Phareodus. All of the fish are well displayed on the large matrix plate that is almost fourteen inches across. This is a cool slab with a very impressive predatory Phareodus and nice school of herring preserved on the same plate.
