10 Inch Long Diplomystus From Green River. Diplomystus was an extinct genus of herring-like fish that lived in the shallow fresh water lakes of Green River, Wyoming 50-55 million years ago. This 14 1/2" x 12 1/2" cream-colored sandstone slab contains a museum-quality 10" long Diplomystus with fins, small bones, head, and even dark brown skin impressions clearly visible. Only some of the tinest bones of the delicate fins have been enhanced. Also on the same slab is a perfectly preserved 3" long Knightia, which was a favorite prey fish of Diplomystus. The ¾" thin slab has been cleanly cut and can be easily framed if desired. Add $35 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $600 - 900.
