Hey there, this is my first post and my second big trip to go fossil hunting. Attached are what I think these fish are identified as, but I think I will need a bit of help seeing as I still have novice eyes. Any help on identifying or noticing differences between differe nt species would be incredibly helpful. These were found in Kemmerer Wyoming at one of the split quarries. Thanks!

Hi everyone, are parts of this Knightia painted? Bought from a pretty reputable dealer, not a dubious random online seller.

Are these fish genuine?
Curiosity posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I would appreciate some help/advice as I know very little about this stuff (although this forum is proving very interesting and informative). I’m looking at giving the fossil fish pictured below to a friend as a birthday present. It has been listed as “Knightia alta from the Eocene age, Green River Limestone deposits Wyoming” and is mounted on a presentation slab. The item is from an apparently well known UK supplier and comes with a ‘certificate of authenticity’. Does this appear to be genuine and is it a decent sample? There is what seems to be a squarish tool mark at the top centre which I’m guessing is from when the stone was split, and is perhaps a bit of a shame on what otherwise (to the ignorant at least) is a fairly pleasing looking piece.
