This is a fine fossil fish. It is a nice, large Diplomystus dentatus from the Eocene of Wyoming. This fossil herring is complete and has good detail preserved. The bone structure of the fish is wonderfully defined - the eye socket of the fish is easily seen, and the arched back adds a certain charm. The orangish-brown color of the fish contrasts nicely with the cream-colored matrix. The fossil is well showcased on the semi-rectangular plate of shale. This is a very nice example of a Diplomystus dentatus from the Green River Formation.
