Fossilized fish ID needed

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!
