This is a Cockerellites I found last year and had prepped out. It came out in a pretty gnarly split and had to be glued back together and prepped. With slight restoration it turned out very well. Looking closely at the anal fin spines, you'll notice the pathology, this specimen has 4 instead of the usual 3. This is most likely a pathology of a Cockerellites liops instead of a new species.

Thanks to Blake(FossilDudeCo), I was able to purchase an unprepped plate back in March to try my hand at my first green river fish. It's been a busy year so it's just been been sitting on my prep table mocking me for the past 8 months. This weekend I finally spent some time working on it. Learned a lot, what works, what really doesn't, and mostly that I now want to get out to the green river formation and go 'fishing' for myself. It's certainly far from perfect and I need to get some carbide needle chisels to clean up details for any I do in the future, but overall I was pretty excited with it. It's a Pricacara Liops and the fish measures out at 5 1/8"
