Name:   Amphiplaga bracyptera
Age:  Eocene
Formation:  Green River Formation
Location:  Kemmerer, Wyoming
Size:  Fish is 3.65 inches long

Here is a detailed specimen of a rare fossil fish from the Eocene of Wyoming. This is a complete Amphiplaga bracyptera from the Green River Formation. Only a handful of these fish are found each year. This specimen exhibits wonderful detail. The eye socket is clearly defined, the bone structure is superb, and the open mouth is easily seen - even the scale pattern is preserved! The fins are intact, and the tail is quite detailed. The fish has excellent orangish-brown color and contrasts beautifully with the cream-colored matrix. The fossil is well showcased on the plate of shale which also contains a partial Knightia fish. This is a very nice specimen of this highly uncommon fish.
