Item Details
Description
Eocene Period, 50 million years BP. A large fossil specimen of the Notogoneus osculus fish from the Green River Formation, Lincoln County, Wyoming, USA. 2.4 kg, 20x39cm (8 x 15 1/2"). From the Pradi Collection, Boston, USA; acquired during 1980s. Notogoneus was a predator and the down-turned mouth is probably an indicator that it fed on prey at the lakes bottom. It is thought that it's scarcity results from the fact that it is felt it migrated between the lake and the rivers that fed it throughout the year to feed.
