The Green River Formation is one of the most well-known fossil sites in the world, occupying present-day Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. This Lagerstätte has been noted for its well-preserved fish fossils, as well as numerous invertebrates, plants, and sometimes even reptiles and birds. Green River fossils are Eocene-aged, at 53.5 to 48.5 million years old. Thankfully, not only are Green River fossils attractive, they also remain affordable to the casual collector. Allow me to present my humble collection. Crocodile tooth Borealosuchus sp. Southwest Wyoming Water bird tracks (possibly sandpipers or plovers) Presbyorniformipes feduccii Vernal, Utah Bird feather Aves indet. Southwest Wyoming Crane flies & Mosquitoes Pronophlebia rediviva & Culex sp. Parachute Creek Member; Douglas Pass, Colorado

I've been going through my collection lately and fixing labels, etc. Just wondering if these are correct. I'm not sharp on my Green River fauna, or fish in general. These are the extent of my Green River collection, aside from a larger Knightia. Sorry, these indoor pics aren't great, I'm hoping someone with experience here will be able to tell what they're looking at, otherwise I could try for better pics outdoors next time we have sunlight. If there is any more info you can give me as well, such as which specific layer these probably came out of, I'd appreciate it. This label initially had 'Knightia' but that was crossed out and replaced by 'Fontenelle':
