All auctions / Ethnographic / Fossil Fish - Fossil plate matrix - Diplomystus Dentatus - 11.8 cm - 16 cm
In this lot a fossil fish of good size is auctioned on a lithographic limestone plate of the species Diplomystus Dentatus The plate measures 11.8 cm high and 16 cm wide, the body of the fish measures 13.5 cm long. Perfect conservation, natural and complete individual, "it's an exquisite piece" Comes from Wyoming, from the famous deposits of the Green River Formation in the United States. Diplomystus was a freshwater fish of medium to large size, able to reach 70 cm in length, being a high-brow generalist predator that inhabited near the surface to catch its prey; other fish such as the Knightia species, aquatic insects, crustaceans and any other prey smaller in size. The Green River Formation, which extends across the states of Wyoming, Utah and Colorado, is the result of the sedimentation of a vast region of lakes that due to various geological events produced very fine clay and silt, low in oxygen, contributing to exquisite fossilization including soft parts of a multitude of animal and plant species as well as insects. Iconic site in paleontology in terms of the quantity and quality of its fossils. "This specimen is accompanied with an L-shaped acrylic display stand as a gift"
