Here is an excellent specimen of one of the most sought-after fish from the Green River Shale. This is Priscacara liops from the Eocene of Wyoming. This fish was found in the ''18-inch layers'' and painstakingly prepared with an air abrasive machine to reveal the wonderful detail of this sunfish. The bone structure of this fish is superb, and the eye socket is easily seen. The fins are clearly defined - the sharp spines of the dorsal fin are intact and beautifully displayed. The natural, dark-brown color of the fish contrasts well with the light-colored matrix. The fish is wonderfully centered on the rectangular plate of shale, cut 8" X 10", making it perfect for framing. This is a very aesthetic example of this highly collectible fossil fish that would look great hanging on anyone's wall.
