Sharp Teeth Hiodon Eohiodon Mooneye Fossil Fish Green River Fm Wyoming WY COA

Description

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this order.
For the collector interested in acquiring the finest in very rare and distinctive Green River Formation fossil fish...
For your consideration is a beautiful, eye-catching fossil Hiodon (Eohiodon), also known as Mooneye, from the world-famous fossil beds of Fossil Lake, Green River Formation, Wyoming. From the Eocene, about 52 million years ago.
It has pretty much everything one could ask for in a Mooneye: the traditional Mooneye shape, strong tail, superb sharp teeth, strong fins in the Hiodon shape, and rays, ribs, scales, etc.  It has a superb toothed parasphenoid (sharp serrations on the underside of that little bone that runs across the eye, photos 3 and 4).  The Hiodon was a voracious predator, so certainly one would probably want a specimen showing those deadly teeth. This specimen shows them clearly, in high-definition.
The specimen measures about 5.1" (12.9 cm.). The plate is about 6.3" by 4.7", and it weighs 1 lb. 6.3 oz. (633 grams). There is also the remnant of a second fish near the tail.
We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) upon request.  Some words of warning about COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the fossils. We have been working with fossils for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are flat-out wrong, mis-describing a specimen. In addition, the person selling the item is usually the one who writes the COA (potential conflict of interest). Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, tied to the COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any fish fossil.
