Group of 3 Fossilized Kightia Fish in Stone Matrix

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

North America, probably Wyoming, Green River Formation, Eocene period, ca. 56 to 33 million years ago. A fabulous collection of three stone matrices with fossilized fish captured within each! The first is roughly circular with three fish, the next contains a single fish, and the last has two. The fish have fossilized to a caramel brown hue, and their spines, fins, and the distinctive curved line of the operculum gill cover, are well preserved! These each appear to be Knightia, an extinct species of freshwater fish that resembled modern day herrings or sardines. These fish were abundant in schools across North America and Asia, which is why many fossils contain several fish! Size of largest: 3.5" Diameter (8.9 cm); smallest: 2" L x 2.125" W (5.1 cm x 5.4 cm)

Lucite stands are not included.

Provenance: ex-estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA acquired before 2000
