Notogoneus Fossil Fish - 20" Specimen - Green River

This is a superb Notogoneus, a prehistoric ray-finned fish. It is a an exceptionally well preserved example of this uncommon species from the Green River Formation. Adding to the uniqueness of this piece is a dynamic band of iron staining on the matrix.
