Showcasing breathtaking natural specimens from the legendary Green River Formation in Wyoming, each piece crafted by Green River Fossil Company is a masterpiece meticulously prepared to merge the worlds of natural history and refined artistry. This exquisite fossil table features a Diplomystus dentatus and an abundance of Knightia eocaena. These fish are all 50 million year old fossils, dating back to the Eocene era and a time when Wyoming enjoyed a tropical climate. These ancient fish are forever preserved in a textured matrix of natural, fossil-bearing limestone from our private fossil quarry in Wyoming. The particular layer of stone from which this table was recovered is paleontologically significant as it documents a mass mortality event which occurred in the ancient lake that year; it explains why there is such an abundance of specimens present in one layer. The tabletop measures 5 feet across. It is partially backed in wood and it sits atop an elegantly crafted, custom-made steel base which compliments the fossil color beautifully. The polished edge of the table highlights the gorgeous distinctions between the ancient, fossilized layers of lakebed sediments. See less
