Crazyhen Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi, the two specimens shown below are said to be from the Green River Formation. I am not sure what species they are and if they are painted. Any advice would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The first pic shows a Cockerellites, most likely C. liops. The second pic shows a Diplomystus dentatus. I don't know if any of the two have been restored in any way, Nevertheless, nice whole fishes! If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone guy Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Wow, what beautiful fish the Cockerellites looks great, but the border surrounding the Diplomystus looks suspicious, that could just be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 As far as I can tell they are both in order. They may be touched up with some kind of protective coating, but that is normal.

sseth Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Fish ID is correct. They both look natural, although the diplomystus may have has a bit of touching up. _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Very nice looking fishes in my opinion. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 They are both gorgeous fish! I don't see any paint, which is usually the only true deal-breaker for me with GR fish. Jay A.
