Fossil Fish and Coprolite Age: Eocene Formation: Green River Formation Location: Kemmerer, Wyoming Size: Plate is 4.1 inches across This specimen is not for sale Click here for similar specimens that are for sale
This is a very unusual fossil. It is a fish with coprolite (poop) from the Green River Formation of Wyoming. Both the fish and coprolite are extremely detailed. The turd is the remnants of a meal that the fish had for dinner 50 million years ago. This is a very uncommon example of both a fish and a coprolite preserved on the same plate - what a conversation piece!
