Tiny fish ID

[thelivingdead531]

Hey everyone, these are not my photos but ones from a listing on a popular auction site. There isn’t any info given about the fish, other than that they are a pair and weigh 35g. 

 

They look to be from the Green River Formation, but I’m not an expert so if you have a different idea, I’m all ears. My main question, however, is if anyone can identify the species? Judging by the coin size, I’m estimating that the size of the slab is about 4cm high and 6-7cm long. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

They do not look like Green River Fm to me.  Maybe French Oligocene material?  Time for the fish guys to have a look.

Looks like Dastilbe elongatus from Northeast Brazil.

Dastilbe from Brazil for me as well, have one very like it.

Thank you all for the info!

+ 1 for Dastilbe sp.

Not sure if it is D. crandalli, or D. elongatus.

These might help.

Getting any fossil from Brazil is a rarity so congratulations you picked up something you will be able to cherish for generations

I haven’t picked it up just yet, but I’m hoping to, especially since it’s incredibly inexpensive. 

 

I know not everyone knows that, which is why I gave approximate dimensions of the slab. As stated above, they weren’t my pictures.
