Iconic Specimen from the Green River Formation

Knightia eocaena was a small, schooling fish that lived in freshwater lakes during the Eocene. Related to modern herring and sardines, Knightia was a key food source for larger predators like Diplomystus and Mioplosus. Its fossils are the most abundant vertebrate fossils in North America and are Wyoming’s official state fossil.

These specimens are known for their clear bone structure, visible vertebrae, delicate fin rays, and, in some cases, even preserved scales and stomach contents.

Comes with acrylic stand.
