bthemoose Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) I was given the fossil fish below. It didn't come with any details, but this looks like a Green River Formation fish, which means it could be from Colorado, Wyoming, or Utah, right? Any thoughts on genus and possibly species? Thanks!

Maybe they got it from someone in Australia so of course it would appear upside-down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
