50 Million Year Old Fossil Fish Diptych from the Green River Formation, Wyoming
About the Item
A beautifully preserved grouping of fossil fish flows across the two panels of this dramatic fossil fish mural: a Mioplosus labracoides, two Diplomystus dentatus, a Cockerellites liops, and seven Knightia eocaena are all included. The soft, beige colors of the natural limestone provide a gorgeous backdrop for the rich bronze hues of the fossils. These 50 million-year-old fossil fish are from the Early Eocene Era, and were discovered in our fossil quarry in southwestern Wyoming.
The two panels in this diptych feature a finished beveled edge and are backed in wood with a built-in French cleat. This diptych ships in a custom wood crate, fully insured against loss or damage. It arrives ready for immediate installation.
We would be glad to provide you with a shipping quote or to create renderings of this mural installed in your space.

ABOUT THE WORK
Green River Fossil Company is a world leader in fossil preparation and presentation, specializing in the unique fossil treasures available from the Green River Formation of Wyoming, USA.
Fifty million years ago, in southwestern Wyoming, a tropical freshwater lake teemed with life. Turtles, fish, crocodiles, and lush vegetation were all once well-established inhabitants of the region. Today, the lake has transformed into an incredibly rich cache of fossils where the past is forever preserved in layers of natural limestone. This is famously known as the Green River Formation.
Professional fossil hunters scout out and excavate fossils from Green River Fossil Company's private quarry; the fossils are then brought to the GRFC lab in northern Utah. Leading experts in fossil preparation perform the painstaking task of revealing the finely preserved details of every specimen. All work adheres to the strict standards of the American Association of Applied Paleontological Science, as is attested to in each work of art's unique Certificate of Authenticity.
Green River Fossil Company has supplied exquisite examples of natural art and outstanding specimens to world-class museums, universities, collectors, interior designers, and art lovers. The collection of natural history presented here highlights important one-of-a-kind specimens as well as attainable works of natural, sculptural art.
In addition to the collection of unique, sculptural art presented on 1stDibs, Green River Fossil Company custom crafts incredible and unique fossil projects. From kitchens, vanities, and baths to feature walls, fireplaces, and furniture, GRFC has the ability to create nearly any custom job you and your design team can imagine.

Green River Fossil Company
The Green River Fossil Company provides a unique decor option that would be difficult for any other firm to offer — 50-million-year-old fossils from the early Eocene Period. The company extracts all their fossils from the compacted sediment where there was once a freshwater lake located in Wyoming. With the fossils they acquire, the company produces one-of-a-kind, museum-quality murals, interior design projects and free-standing fossil stone products, each unlike any other.
Green River Fossil affords clients the opportunity to possess the remnants of an era that predates humankind by millions of years. Murals comprising the fossils of extinct turtles, fish — even palm fronds — offer a connection to a time when the Earth was almost an entirely different world altogether.
Many private collections and museums display murals produced by Green River, including the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Houston, Texas.
Founded in 2000, Green River Fossil owns a private quarry in Wyoming and has established its preparatory labs in Logan, Utah. All fossils are collected and prepared according to a strict code of ethics put forth by the American Association of Paleontological Suppliers, as well as all state and federal laws.

500 Million Yrs old Fossil Trilobite
Located in Scorton, GB
The extraordinary fossil Harpes trilobite, measuring eight four millimetres overall, is a wonderfully articulated and fine specimen. Exotic trilobites have influenced some of the most iconic sci-fi films and helped shape the structure of some of the most sophisticated architectural buildings in modern times.
The Harpes trilobite, with its unique patterning and streamlined aesthetic, is a species that never fails to intrigue. Its wide, heavily pitted brim, fringe with a curled rim, and elegant taper to the point of both cephalon long spines make it a true enigma. The eyes set back high on the glabella, and the well-defined thoracic segments add to its allure for inquiring minds.
With reference once more to the Martian-looking brim, this wide brim with innumerable pitting could have aided the invertebrate lift, much like a hydrofoil. Again, this is the theory at this time.
Palaeontologists theorise the possible functions of these anatomical features, either being a wide sieve to filter bottom sediments for food or to detect movement, a sensory organ.
Over the 250,000,000-year range of the trilobites, many different morphological adaptions developed from free swimmers to bottom sifters. The expanded and pitted cephalic fringe, a distinct anatomical development seen in harpetids and trinucleids types, including the Harpes trilobite, is a significant area of study in palaeontology. This species, featured in a beautifully designed lucite display case...
