Here is a fine specimen of a rare fossil fish from the Eocene of Wyoming. This is Amphiplaga bracyptera from the Green River Formation. Only a handful of these fish are found each year. This specimen exhibits very good detail. The backbone is clearly defined, and the eye socket easily seen. The fins are intact, and the tail is quite detailed. The fish has excellent orangish-brown color and contrasts beautifully with the cream-colored matrix. The fossil is well showcased on the angular plate of shale. This is a nice specimen of this highly uncommon fish.
