Description Description: Green River Fish and Leaves. Green River Wyoming is famous for its exquisitely fossilized 50 million year old fish and leaves. These are usually found separately because most of the fish are found in deeper water than the plants which are mostly found close to the ancient lake shore. Rarely are they found together as on this 15.5 x 10 inch limestone plate. This plate contains a large 8 inch section of a banana leaf and a smaller 2 inch leaf. The three fish consist of a partial excellently preserved 3.75 inch long Prixcacara with sharp dorsal spines swimming out from behind the banana leaf as well as two Knightias 3 inch and 2.5 inch with excellent fins. The medium to dark brown fossils are nicely contrasted against the cream colored limestone matrix. Add $25 for domestic shipping. Estimated Value $550 - 700. Categories:
