Mykkhul97 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I am curious as to what fish this is. No idea where it is from. A nice specimen! Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I might be wrong, but that could be a Knightia from the Green River Formation. 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...
Mykkhul97 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 The mouth looks a bit small than the fish in my pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 It's possible that part of the mouth in your fossil is covered, it somewhat appears in the picture that some matrix might still be covering it.

PaleoNoel Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Agreed, Diplomystus. You can tell based on the shape of the mouth and upper body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
