Wrangellian Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 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': Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 This one came from one of those 'fossil collections' you can buy for kids, schools, etc - which I was given ages ago. No doubt some of the info is outdated on some of the labels (and some lack any useful info at all), but not sure about this one - A small fish comparable but not identical (to my eye) to the one above: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 One more, also a small fish similar to the above. If I ever had any info for this one it is now lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hey Eric, In a recent thread, JPC said all the fish from Fontenelle were Gosiutichthys parvus. On your second piece, the second one looks like Gosiutichthys to me. Your third piece is a bit more tricky. You may need to count vertebrae on that one. 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Wrangellian Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Thanks Tim.. So they're all likely Gosiutichthys parvus? What might last one be if the vert count isn't right? I'll see if I can count them, but that could be tricky... I'm not sure where they end (or begin?) at the head end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
