**This is a breathtaking prehistoric fossil fish slab with a six beautiful fish. A sizeable _Phareodus_ and _Diplomystus_ are aesthetically centred** in this impressive shale slab, surrounded by three smaller _Diplomystus_ and one _Knightia_.

These fish swam in ancient Eocene lakes in Wyoming, USA, 50 million years ago. They were discovered in the famous Green River Formation, which is known to produce some of the most spectacular vertebrate fossils. Interestingly, predatory _Phareodus_ and_Diplomystus_ have even been found with small _Knightia_ preserved in their mouths!

_Phareodus_ is one of the rarer types of fish found in the Green River Formation and this is a prime example of the species.

It took **countless hours of painstaking work by a professional fossil preparator** to reveal the fine bones of these fossil fish from the stone. Surely, it was worth the effort to bring these ancient fish to life!

_An exceptional, museum quality piece._

The slab of stone measures 42 x 33 x 6.7 inches / 107 x 84 x 7 cm. The three largest fish measure 16, 13.5 and 8.5 inches respectively. Weighs approximately 100 lbs / 45 kg.

**The slab is ready to hang** flush on a wall with a French cleat system (materials included).

Note: The larger _Diplomystus_ has been inset. All other fish are naturally preserved in association.
