fig rocks Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Here's a plate Green River fossil fish I got for my birthday! I hope they're real!

Frank Menser Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Enjoy them as they are indeed real. The only thing artificial is that (like many Green River Fish) they have been stained to bring out more detail. Nice pair! Be true to the reality you create.
