Here is a nice specimen of a rare fossil fish from the Eocene of Wyoming. This is Amphiplaga brachyptera from the Green River Formation. Only a handful of these fish are found each year. This juvenile specimen exhibits good detail - the bone structure is nice, the fins are intact, and the tail is easily seen. The fish has distinct orangish-brown color and contrasts beautifully with the cream-colored matrix. The fossil is well centered on the rectangular plate of shale. This is a very cool specimen of this highly uncommon fish.
