Another stunning preview for our upcoming show this weekend, March 19th and 20th 2022.  This is a Mioplosus labracoides from the Green River Formation in Wyoming.  These extinct Perch-like fish have incredible detail.  This one is from the famous 18″ layer, which yields some of the highest quality specimens.  This particularly outstanding specimen was donated by Dave Carlson and prepared by Keith Robitschek.
