5.9" Phareodus Fossil Fish - Exceptional Specimen

This is an exceptionally nice, 5.9" long example of one of the more uncommon fossil fish (Phareodus) found in the Green River Formation. It has beautiful, brown preservation is very detailed and perfectly laid out on an unbroken slab of shale. While it's on the smaller side for the species they really don't any nicer preservation wise. Comes with a display stand or we can back it and install mounting hardware at no charge.

If you look closely you can see how Phareodus has a mouthful of sharp pointy teeth making is a voracious lake predator. In fact the name Phareodus actually means "to have tooth" Spines from other fish such as Mioplosus and Priscacara have frequently been found preserved in it's stomach.
