Farson Fish - Gosiutichthys Death Assemblage

Description: Gosiutichthys is a common genus in the Green River Formation, of the family Clupeidae. It gets its name from Gosiute, a Middle Eocene lake where it lived in large schools. It outcrops near the Fontenelle Reservoir and near the Farson Dam. The shales and fossils are not the typical Green River specimens most of us are familiar with. They have a different type of preservation. This plate contains eight specimens. The preservation is excellent and is quite aesthetic and displayable. This plate was cracked and repaired. It has an epoxy backing for support.
