Can someone help me identify this fossil please? 

It wasn't dads and I know he said something about the Green River Formation I'm just not sure what kind of fish there are on it.IMG_0328.thumb.jpg.a85d47b641d6fca4de01f27456fa9957.jpgIMG_0330.thumb.jpg.95fd389a89a62c341c16a07b612a4b3c.jpgIMG_0329.thumb.jpg.7314509734bf29035a766b32a058a329.jpg

Looks to me like they are Knightia eocaena. Gosiutichthys parvus Are also found in large mass mortality plates. What are the average size of the fish?

I'd say Knightia eocaena is more likely if they are that large. 

If the answer were 2.5 - 3.5 inches,  I would say Gosiutichthys parvus.
