This Mioplosis, although missing the tail, is still 10 iinches long. It has been in my collection for a while, but as much as I love it, I need to find it another home. This size is extremely rare and would make a great example for any collection. If this example were hole, it would have been around 14 or so inches.Mioplosis, or Mioplosus labracoides Cope,is a voracious species of fish that fed mostly on other fish. Aspiration specimens, meaning fish found in mouths or stomachs of a fish, are most commonly found in Mioplosus than other types of fish. Mioplosus fishes are found in Green River Fossil Formation, near Kemmerer, WY. They are apart of the Eco scene, ranging about 50 million years ago.
The fishes scientific order Order Perciformes, Family Latidae..
Mioplosus labracoides Cope is a ancient relative to the modern day Bass and Perch fish. The Mioplosus fish are one of the rarest fish found in the Green River formation, making up only 2-4% of the total fish found from the Green river formation.
Fossil specimens range from a few inches to around 20 inches (the larger the fish, the rarer the find). The Mioplosus is commonly found near the shore.For further information on this and other fish, I recommend visiting the Fossil Butte online museum.
For more information, check out The Lost World of Fossil Late by Lance Grande or visit the Fossil Butte museum ship domestically within the United States.
