Watch the preparation process of a Priscara fossil fish from the Green River Formation as we carefully remove the surrounding matrix using an air scribe. This step-by-step prep reveals fine details in the bones and body that have been hidden for millions of years. Fossil preparation is equal parts patience, precision, and trust in the tools—and this Priscara is a perfect example of how delicate prep can bring ancient life back into view. #fossil #wyoming #paleotology #fossils #fossilprep #fossil

When working with specimens from the Green River Formation, it's common to encounter fractures where one part of the specimen extends into another rock fragment. To ensure structural integrity, both sides of the specimen need to be carefully prepared and reassembled. If you’re interested in learning more about this process for fossil preparation, feel free to ask questions. We have an upcoming resource that will help facilitate these needs. #education #learning #school #motivation #students #lov

This fossil mural contains a 43” short-nose Gar Masillosteus janei. These are among the rarest fossils found in the Green River Formation. We estimate that less than 20 have been recorded. This extinct gar had a stout jaw and short grinding teeth, unlike other fossil and modern gar with long pointed noses and sharp teeth. This is among the best preserved we have ever seen. The diamond shaped scales follow the contour of the body and the stone. The age is 50 million years old. | Green River Fossi

Information 💥💥💥 We've received several questions about the fossil restoration process, so here’s a full disclosure video explaining how it works. In the Green River Formation, only about 10% of discovered fossils are naturally well-preserved enough for commercial sales. The remaining 90% often require some level of enhancement, such as repainting the body or even reconstructing missing fins. This restoration process is a common practice among wholesale fossil fish sellers, as the demand for h

The Green River Formation, a treasure trove of ancient fossils, holds countless surprises, one of which is the remarkable Amia pattersoni—a fascinating prehistoric fish. This extinct species belonged to the bowfin family, a group of fish that has an evolutionary legacy dating back to the Jurassic. Amia pattersoni once swam through the lush freshwater lakes of what is now Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado during the Eocene Epoch, roughly 50 million years ago. What makes this fish so intriguing is its c
