This superbly prepared and preserved fish is from the famous Green river formation in Wyoming, USA. These types of fossils are fairly scarce to find, especially with this ammount of detail, including so much soft tissue preservation. These fish which are associated with the Percidae family were thought to be solitary predators, due to the lack of group mortality fossils being found. Mioplosus lived during the Eocene period approximately 50 million years ago and was thought to have been a ferocious hunter.
