📌 Additional Information:
Knightia was a small schooling fish that thrived in the Eocene’s warm freshwater lakes. These mass mortality fossils are believed to have been caused by rapid environmental changes, such as algal blooms or sudden shifts in temperature and oxygen levels, resulting in entire schools of fish being preserved together in the fine lake sediments.

Photo Disclaimer:
I strive to provide accurate, unedited photos that represent each stone and fossil as naturally as possible. While I do not use filters or enhancements, colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen’s brightness, contrast, and settings. All photos are taken with my monitor set to default display settings for the most neutral representation.
Please review all photos carefully before purchasing.
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.
Fossil Restoration Disclaimer:
All of our fossils are authentic specimens. However, due to their fragile nature and the passage of millions of years, some may have undergone minor stabilization, such as the sealing of fractures or breaks with professional-grade glue or filler. When such restorations are known, we will do our best to clearly note them in the product description.
That said, please inspect all photos closely and assume minor repairs may be present unless otherwise stated.
