I picked up this treasure in Tucson, because I have always wanted one, and had never been able to afford on till then.

 

Species: Mioplosus and Knightia

Location: Green River, Wyoming

The bones are nice on both fish, and the seller did tell me he had done some touch up with paint for the edges of the skin, which I am perfectly ok with.

 

Cool thing is that the seller found everything he had in his booth. Really nice stuff, and a really nice guy.

Now this is a fossil to remember! Great buy!

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Very nice! It sure is a good feeling to finally get something stricken off the bucket list.

It certainly is. But the list never ends hahah

I saw that piece in Tucson. Really nice and a great acquisition!

That's really cool! I got it one of the first days of the show, so you must've been there early!!

I love the association on this plate. Fossils like this are so cool because they are pictures of the prehistoric ecosystem. So awesome. :)

Nice piece. :)

Though it should probably be titled "Mioplosus-choking-to-death-on-a-Knightia."

Life's Good!

Yes, it's tough enough to get two different organisms on a plate so getting that third one makes it a fantastic association piece.
