拍品专文
The Green River Formation in Wyoming, USA, boasts some of the most impressively preserved fossil specimens from the Eocene epoch anywhere on earth. The diversity of the oceans during this period is well captured in the present fossil triptych, which contains more than a dozen examples of three of the most well-known extinct fish species from the Eocene - The large Diplomystus with its sloping head; the Priscacara with it's broad ray-fins; and the diminuitive Knightia.
Each fossil fish plaque has been meticulously recovered from the stone, and through hundreds of hours of excavation work, the finely preserved fish specimens are revealed, their anatomy clearly defined against the matrix.
