Priscacara fry from Green River


Xiphactinus

Recommended Posts

My wife and I took a wonderful trip to the American Quarry near Kemmerer, Wyoming this September. One of the most unusual finds we made was this teeny tiny Priscacara baby. I do love finding the big fish, but this tiny little guy has a lot of attitude. He was by far the smallest fish we found on the trip.

 

edit - for those of you not familiar with US coins - fish is approx. 15 mm nose to tail.

These are certainly not rare, but still, hard to find.  These little guys have bone structure that has not fully developed and finding one is really cool.   Very nice find.

I had the opportunity to go there last year. What a trip!! I absolutely love the fry!!! I would have missed it completely as I,  like you,  was looking for  large fish. Would have thought it just more fish poo. Again, great find.

Oh! Wow! Good one. :dinothumb:

Finding any fish is high on my list.
