Fish Fossil in Matrix [Diplomystus] - Genuine Specimen from Eocene USA - Certificated
All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity
Name: Diplomystus sp.
Specimen: Fossil Fish in Matrix
Age: Eocene
Location: USA
Scale cube=1cm: Full sizing please see photo
Diplomystus is an extinct genus of freshwater clupeomorph fish that was present in the Eocene period, around 56 to 33.9 million years ago. They are distantly related to modern-day extant herrings, alewives, and sardines, and like them their strongly upturned mouths suggest that they fed in open water rather than being bottom feeders. Diplomystus are often found in association with other Eocene fish from the Green River Formation, particularly the genus Knightia. In fact fossil evidence suggests that Diplomystus preyed upon Knightia!
**A high quality display fossil with a photo that shows the actual specimen you will receive. **

Hedgehog Crab (Derilambrus angulifrons)
This spiky little crustacean belongs to the Parthenopidae family and is found in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Its spiny shell helps it blend in with rocky environments, offering protection from predators.
Despite its cute appearance, this crab is a skilled scavenger, feeding on small invertebrates and organic debris!

Spinosaurus drama is cool and things, but do you know what's even cooler? Better fossils of animals that lived with Spinosaurus!
There is a new specimen of Concavotectum currently on display in Tuscon. BigSkyFossils took some photos of it and I had to doodle it! It's been a while since I did a tselfatiform and now we have finally an idea how the postcranium looked like!
So far we only had a few fragments and this pretty good skull. As some people noted though, the eye is reconstructed in the wrong corner.

It’s Fossil Friday! Let’s swim back in time about 85 million years to the Late Cretaceous to meet Xiphactinus, a gigantic predatory fish. This species could reach lengths of 17 ft (5.2 m) and was capable of swallowing a 6-ft- (2-m-) long fish whole! The Museum’s Xiphactinus fossils come from Logan County, Kansas, which is home to 70-ft- (21.3-m-) tall sedimentary formations. Though that might not sound like an ideal home for an ocean-dweller, the entire area was covered by a vast inland sea during the Cretaceous. See Xiphactinus in the Museum’s Hall of Vertebrate Origins!
