Fossilized fish ID needed

[JojoMozza]

Hi there,

I'm thinking of buying these fish but the seller knows absolutely nothing about them. They look like they are from Green River. Just wondering if an ID can be given; genus or species if possible. 

Thanks!

you are right, all of them are from Green River.

No. 1 Belly up:   Mioplosus labracoides COPE, 1877

No. 2 Knightia. eocaena

No. 3 also upside down: Diplomystus dentatus Cope, 1877

No. 4 difficult to see all details, but at least most fish belong to Knightia eocaena

Nice fish!

#4 looks to be 3 knightia, a partial diplo and parts of a Phareodus.
