Only a small fraction of life makes it into the fossil record. Most living organisms simply disappear without a trace. Southwest Wyoming’s Green River Formation has preserved spectacular, detailed, and complete fish fossils from the Eocene Epoch of approximately 50 million years ago. Gar are an ancient order of ray-finned fish. After more than a century of excavating fossil fish from the Green River Formation it is estimated that only a few hundred complete gars have been discovered. The fossil gar is rare and highly prized. Quarried from Mosaic Lake and unearthed by hand, this striking mural contains a 28.5″ Gar Simplex.

Phareodus was a genus of freshwater fish from the Eocene to the Oligocene of Australia, Europe and North America, with an oval outline, a small head, and slightly pointed snout. Priscacara is an extinct genus of perch from the middle Eocene, characterized by a sunfish-like body and stout dorsal and anal spines. Mass deaths of Priscacara suggest it formed schools. Knightia is an extinct genus of bony fish that lived in the fresh water lakes and rivers of North America and Asia during the Eocene epoch. It is the state fossil of Wyoming and belongs to the same taxonomic family as herring and sardines. Quarried from Mosaic Lake and unearthed by hand, this striking mural is comprised of a rare 12” Phareodus, a 5.25” Priscacara, a 5.25” Knightia, and a 4.25” Knightia.

Diplomystus is an extinct genus of freshwater clupeomorph fish distantly related to modern-day extant herrings, alewives, and sardines. Phareodus was a genus of freshwater fish from the Eocene to the Oligocene of Australia, Europe and North America, with an oval outline, a small head, and a slightly pointed snout. Priscacara is an extinct genus of perch from the middle Eocene, characterized by a sunfish-like body and stout dorsal and anal spines. Mass deaths of Priscacara suggest it formed schools. A small schooling fish, Knightia made an abundant food source for larger Eocene predators. Quarried from Mosaic Lake and unearthed by hand, this striking mural contains a 16″ Diplomystus, 6.5″ Phareodus, 8.5″ Priscacara, and 4 Knightia.
