Spectacular, framed Mioplosis Fish
Recognisable by their elongated shape
A hunter, predator, normally on Knightia
Double Fish Plate
Product description
Age: Eocene (50m years old)
Fossil site: Green river formation, Wyoming, USA
Description: This fossil plate comes from the world famous Laggerstatten Green river in the USA.
The site produces a large extent of soft tissue preservation as evidenced in these fish.
Mioplosis labrocoides is an ancestor of the Perch, and was a voracious predator. Often they can be found in the fossil record eating other fish.
It is easily identified by its elongated shape and canine-like teeth.
The preservation here is superb, with an impression of scales and the dark bodies are a wonderful counter point to the light matrix.
During the Eocene the region was sub tropical to temperate.
They have been sympathetically framed, and will make a wonderful display in the home or office.
