Product description

Age:           Eocene  (50m yrs old)
Fossil Site:   Green River Formation, Fossil Lake, Wyoming, USA
Description: This wonderful specimen comes from the world famous Laggerstatten Green River. The site produces a large extent of soft tissue preservation and this can be seen here.
Diplomystus is distantly related to modern herings, and was a surface feeder, as shown by their upturned mouths, and body shape. They fed on smaller surface dweling fish.
During the Eocene the region was sub tropical to temperate.
