    Description

    Its time to clean out some space in the stock room and recently I discovered a flat of fossil fish that I got many years ago from my old friend Robert DeJong.  Robby had one of the fossil fish quarry leases in Wyoming for many years and I probably got these from him 15 years or so ago.  Unfortunately Robby has passed since then, he was a very fine human being and I learned a lot from him and sold hundreds of his fossil fish over the past 30+ years.
    Here is a fine classic fossil fish plate from the world famous Green Fiver Formation near Kemmerer, Lincoln & Uinta Counties, Wyoming USA.  These fossils are from the Eocene and are between 30 and 50 million years old, and this is a specimen of the species Knightia, an ancient herring-like fish.  This is a double plate that has one mostly complete fish and then a second fish that is about 50% complete and is missing the head end.   The fish have been fossilized on a thin cream-tan colored limestone plate measuring roughly 6.75 x 4 inches in size and between 1/4 and 3/8 inch thick.  It weighs 6.5 ounces, and the larger fossil fish measures 4.5 x 1.6 inches in size.  The half fish measures 2.75 x 1.3 inches.
    We are offering this wonderful ancient fossil fish specimen at a SUPER LOW starting bid and NO RESERVE, so lets have some fun!   PayPal is our preferred method of payment, but we also accept most other common payment methods so drop us a note if you have question about our payment policy.  Shipping will be charged at cost depending upon the winning bidder's choice of shipping methods and ship-to locality.
    HAPPY BIDDING to all! PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR OTHER AUCTIONS AND OUR EBAY STORE!!!
    We ALWAYS will combine orders to reduce shipping costs, including winning bids over several weeks if desired, and we NEVER charge a handling fee. PLEASE NOTE: If you would like to combine orders over several days or weeks, just let us know to hold the order until you are finished bidding, and PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT A PAYMENT until you are ready to have us ship the order.   EBay requires us to complete shipment within one business day of receiving payment, so by paying and having us hold the order it damages our EBay rating and can result in additional fees that we have to pay. Check out our EBay About Me page for additional information about our business.

    Shipping & Handling
    If you are purchasing multiple items, please request a combined invoice from us and wait to pay until we send you a true combined invoice. The amount eBay charges for combined shipping usually significantly over estimates the true shipping cost.
