This is a huge specimen of a rare type of fossil fish. It is a complete Notogoneus osculus from the Green River Formation of Wyoming. Notogoneus was a saprophage, using its vacuum-like mouth to feed from the river and lake bottoms. This ''sucker'' fish probably lived in lake tributaries and rarely ventured into lakes. This is thought to be why Notogoneus are rare finds in the Green River (Fossil Lake) Formation. This huge specimen (22 inches!) is complete and has all of its fins and tail rays intact (rare!). The fish easily shows the outline of the body and the long backbone extremely well. The fossil is aesthetically centered on the large, rectangular plate of stone matrix. This is a very nice, large example of one of the most uncommon and unusual fossil fish found in Wyoming.
