Catfish fossil - Astephus antiquus.
Recent acquisition of mis-identified fossil fish.
Listed as Knightia eocaena, I knew the head was the wrong shape. A closer look revealed pectoral spines, and a dorsal spine.
I knew then that it was a juvenile catfish.
This is most likely an Astephus antiquus.
Green River Formation.
Length 1- 3/4 inches.
