Hello,

Yes it is a fish, looks like one of the Knightia species. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightia Someone smarter than I might be able to give you the species...

Did they give you any information about it? Maybe be from the Green River Formation, Western USA, Eocene in Age? .

Regards, Chris
