I bought this fish last weekend from a college museum's gift shop, Im assuming it's real due to the college which it was bought from and the  condition of the fish, as of the ~30 fish (all the same species(I think)) this one was probably the best condition. It was only labeled as green river fish, so I'm assuming knightia, as from what I've seen that seems to be the most common fish in the formation. Thoughts? Thanks.IMG_20241117_124113.thumb.jpg.dedddb18a3045e44620ce00121c0668e.jpgIMG_20241117_124138.thumb.jpg.f0d3974d5f43fb534b40a200d79895f5.jpgIMG_20241117_124201.thumb.jpg.40249e1cc5272fd34074b4e02873f705.jpgIMG_20241117_124303.thumb.jpg.1cd6feee4cc118f3c583ecfe497e993a.jpgIMG_20241117_124315.thumb.jpg.0b2d3a53bc4dcd9a571c5e7459f1ea17.jpgIMG_20241117_124326.thumb.jpg.a6fd21a41770eab7f676d41ed92f7ea9.jpg

And I think the photo shows it upside down, which would be appropriate for a dead fish :rolleyes:

Looks like a typical Knightia eocaena.

Correct orientation:
