Ihad this plate labelled Fish from the tertiary of France ,i had this typical Dapalis Macrurus from the Oligocene of Aix en Provence at the same time;but i had a real doubt about the multi-fish plate.Oilshale was very kind to help me and he think it could be US

Hello Gery, 

I think it is a US plate, with the 3 upper fish possibly being Knightia eocaena, and the lower fish being a Gosiuteichthys parvus.

The 3 might be a mixture of both fish, though.

Thanks Tim!thanks to your picture and the Thomas expertise, i can change  the ID:thumbsu:I thought it were kind of Prolebias with strange partial Macrurus but in fact it's  a Gosiutichthys parvus(like on your picture ) , with two partial Knightia eocaena ,really not a plate from the oligocene of France like it was told to me!:headscratch:
