EXTREMELY RARE. Genus: Crossopolis. Species: magnicaudatus. This paddlefish is 55 million year's old. Found at the 7200 feet elevation in the Green River formation. Located near Kemmerer, Wyoming, USA. The paddlefish are the rarest described fish in the Green River Formation, represented usually by incomplete specimens (partial skulls and tails) the body consists mostly of cartilage and notochordal tissue. They same to be found only in the Fossil Lake deposits. Paddlefish are still living today and are only found in two of the worlds large river systems. That is the Mississippi River system of North America and in the Yangtze River system in China. These specimens are 25" long and the plates are 22" wide by 32" high and have a 5/8" wood backing with hangers attached and beautifully trimed. These would grace the finest of walls. On the positive 156 tail and fins have been slightly enhanced. On the negative 156b it had only a bone but the emprint from the 156 was so great in detail that I decided to enhance and preserved this specimen as well. !!What a pair!!These plates have fantastic color,Very Excellent and Extremely Rare.

| EXTREMELY RARE!! Undetermined sp. The Green River Formation has produced more complete or nearly complete articulated fossil birds than any other pre-Pleistocene locality in North America. Many of these birds (an Eocene galliform) were non-aquatic; they fell into the lake,somehow,and covered with sediment and fossilized in the same way the fish were. Feathers,legs,feet and skulls are more abundant than complete specimens (which are extremely rare). This specimen is 7" long, skull is 1 3/4" long and the plate is 21" by 16" high. It also has 24 minni fish on the plate and has a 5/8" wood backing. Very Excellent and Extremely Rare. No repair or touchup has been made to the bird specimen. Item# F156 $17,000.00 SOLD | .

ONE OF A KIND! This rare gar is not common in the Green River Formation, but they are widespread and can be found in the main fish localities. Modern gar prefer shallow, weedy or swampy areas in streams and rivers. This may explain the scarcity of the fossil gar. This 5'3" gar found in the Green River Formation is 50 million years old. Location: Kemmerer, Wyoming. This splendid 5' 3" Gar maybe the finest in excistence for sale. Only five Gar fish over 5' have been known to come out of the Green River formation. The coloration is out standing thru out this specimen as can be seen in the photos. If you look very closely at the photo you can see the very huge teeth on the lower jaw. This magnificent plate is backed with 3/4" thick plywood and can easily grace the most elegant of walls. This is an excellent (rare) collector or museum specimen. Size of gar is 5' 3" long. Plate is 89" long and 42 3/4" wide. Item# FJ115 $90,000.00 |
