Fossil Fish Notogoneus 20\" Gorgeous Color Green River Formation Wyoming COA 3154:
$2995.00
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this order.
Here is an incredibly cool genuine fossil fish Notogoneus osculus, from the world-famous fossil beds of Fossil Lake, Green River Formation, Wyoming. From the Eocene, 52 million years ago.
It was naturally found in this beautiful matrix, where iron-rich sediment millions of years ago formed the superb colors you see on the plate. In our view, these natural plate colors are about as stunning as you will ever be able to find. All done by the \"paintbrush\" of Mother Nature. The fish is natural in-Situ, not inlaid.
The Notogoneus is about 20 inches from tip to tip. The plate is about 29.5 inches by 18.5 inches, and it weighs a hefty 36 lbs. The entire back side has been reinforced with a beautiful sheet of wood. Upon request, we will send you a free heavy-duty \"french cleat\" if you are planning on attaching it to a wall with studs.
Notogoneus is referred to as a beaked sandfish, because it has a beak, not teeth, and the fact that is was primarily a bottom feeder.
This plate is different from many Notogoneus plates. It has a very rustic quality and \"atmosphere\" to it that is not common.
All Notogoneus are covered with scales on the top of the head. For whatever reason, these scales are typically removed during preparation, revealing the black skull bone. However, on this specimen, it was chosen to leave the scales in. Keeping the scales in is actually how the Notogoneus really looked. You can easily see the scales in the close-up photo of the head. There is not one right or wrong way to prep the fish, it is a matter of preference. If you are looking for rustic, then leaving the scales on is the way to go.
Many Notogoneus have a problem with their vertebrae, not lining up properly. This one has no such problem. In fact, everything about this specimen, the scales, the bones, the fins and rays, appears to be excellent.
A wonderful, rustic, exceptional additional to any collection.
We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). Some words of caution about COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the fossils. We have been working with fossils for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. In addition, the person selling the item is often the one who writes the COA (potential conflict of interest). Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, tied to that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any fish fossil. We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the If you are not satisfied with your order, please contact us, and let us make it right, before giving any response.
