Bargain, 7.6" Phareodus Fish Fossil - Uncommon Fish

This is a bargain 7.6" long example of one of the more uncommon fossil fish found in the Green River Formation. It is a Phareodus from Warfield's Quarry near Kemmerer. The preservation on this fish isn't the greatest and there's a section of the back/tail missing, hence the bargain price.

This specimen includes an acrylic display stand.

If you look closely you can see that Phareodus has a mouthful of sharp pointy teeth making it a voracious lake predator. In fact the name Phareodus actually means "to have tooth". Spines from other fish such as Mioplosus and Priscacara have frequently been found preserved in their stomachs.
