Here is a very well preserved specimen of a rare fossil fish from the Eocene of Wyoming. This is Amphiplaga bracyptera from the Green River Formation. Only a handful of this type of fish are found each year. This specimen exhibits wonderful detail. The eye socket is well defined, and the bone structure is superb. The fins are intact, and the open mouth is easily seen. The large fish has excellent orangish-brown color and contrasts beautifully with the cream-colored matrix. The fossil is well showcas on the rectangular plate of shale. This is a very displayable specimen of this highly uncommon fish.
