Fish fossils

A stunning LARGE Mioplosus labracoides!

Measuring 13 1/2" (34.5cm) on a matrix slab of 26 1/2" x 13 3/4" (67cm x 35cm) the fish was prepared in the United Kingdom.

Dating to the Eocene, this example is from the famous Green River Formation, Wyoming, USA.

Professionally prepared to the highest standard by a specialist, this INCREDIBLE fossil has to be seen to be appreciated and believed!

From a multitude of needle sharp teeth, intact vertebrae which stand proud of the matrix to the fine spines of the fins and AMAZINGLY IMPRESSIVE mouth plates - this fish is extraordinary!

Have you ever seen such pronounced 3D preservation and presentation - the vertebrae are so proud of the matrix you could almost pick them off!

A fearsome and voracious predator, Mioplosus bears the classic hallmarks of a top predator.

Sometimes discovered with Knightia up to half the size of the Mioplosus in its mouth, it was a ferocious carnivore with a huge appetite!

Numerous coprolites adorn the sandstone matrix.

Supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity - we guarantee the genuiness of this fossil!

This all real MUSEUM QUALITY fossil must NOT be confused with small commercial grade examples covered in paint - the body and outline of this Mioplosus is genuine fossilized.

For the connoisseur - this stunning piece will not disappoint and will grace any contemporary living space with its timeless artistry.
