Knightia Fish Fossil Plate – Authentic Eocene Fossil from the Green River Formation
This listing is for ONE randomly selected Knightia Fish Plate Fossil, guaranteed to be 90–100% whole. These are 100% authentic fossil specimens from the world-famous Green River Formation in Wyoming, dating back to the Eocene Epoch—approximately 48 million years ago.
Each Knightia fossil has been lightly cleaned to enhance visibility but contains no added artistic restoration—what you see is purely natural. Knightia eocaena was a small freshwater fish that lived in large schools, and these mass mortality fossils are often attributed to sudden environmental changes that occurred in ancient lake systems.
Some fossils may have minor edge damage or imperfections, but each specimen is guaranteed to retain at least 90% of the full fish fossil. Available pieces may be rectangular, oval, or irregular in shape, and will be pulled randomly from a selection of similarly graded stock.

Natural Stone & Fossil Disclaimer:
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations.
If you have any questions about a specific piece, feel free to contact us before ordering.

I strive to provide accurate, unedited photos that represent each stone as naturally as possible. While I do not use filters or enhancements, please note that colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen’s brightness, contrast, and settings.
