Unidentified Fossils Fish

Do you know if they are from Wyoming, USA? Or Lebanon?

The third picture appears to be a shrimp.

It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators.

The first fish reminds me of specimens of Dastilbe from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil. These fish are commonly available from fossil dealers.

The second and fourth photos are of Culpeiform (herring) fish. Possibilities include Armigeres from Lebanon, and Diplomystus which has also been reported from Lebanon and of course is abundant in the Green River. The matrix looks more like the Lebanon than Green River deposits to me, but of course that is hard to determine from a photo. However the shrimp also strongly suggest Lebanon as a possible source.

Bear in mind that these are just suggestions, not firm IDs. You'll have to do more research to confirm or reject these suggestions.
