I bought this fish, the seller lost the label but believe it comes from the Green River, is this possible?

This looks like a well preserved   Knightia eocaena, from the Green River Formation in Wyoming, most likely.

Thank you for your help, it's a common fossil, but I've never seen one in such detail. I like it
