Here is a very attractive fossil fish. This is Knightia eocaena from the Green River Formation of Wyoming. This specimen was found by Steve Hess in 2004. The fish exhibits wonderful detail - the bone structure is well preserved, and the fins are easily seen. The eye socket of the fish is clearly defined, and even some of the the scale pattern is noticeable. The fish has great, orangish-brown color that contrasts nicely with the cream-colored matrix. The fish is well showcased on the large plate of shale. This is a very fine example of a fossil herring from the Eocene.
