Description

Locality: Lahontan Beds, Hazen, Nevada, U.S.A.

Era: Cenozoic (Late Miocene)
Geological Age: about 9 million years ago

Description: These freshwater fish are sticklebacks that have been preserved in this diatomaceous earth plate. The rust/orange colour makes us wonder how they died, possibly a mass die-off from an ash fall event or algal bloom. This fossil is extremely delicate so it is encouraged not to disturb it once it is on display.

Approximate Size of 1 piece: 17.5cm x 10cm x 1cm
Approximate Weight of 1 piece: 70g

Quantity: 1 fossil plate with 1, 2 or 3 fish (choose under Fish per Plaque)
