Today, we are uncovering a 52 MILLION year old fossil from the Green River Formation in Kemmerer, Wyoming.
This particular fish came from the Fossil Lake Safari Quarry!

Next door is the American Fossil Quarry and they have equally as nice fish and wonderful people that run it. I recommend both quarries.

There is also Ulrich's Fossil Gallery - that one does require a reservation in advance for the quarry dig!

Here is the play list of my trips there:

This was a project that sat in waiting and got forgotten about...until I decided to auction it off during a live. So, naturally I get side tracked and decided to sand it during the live so I could see what was inside.
Then tonight I decided to go ahead and give it a full polish because at the time, I had no intention of fully polishing it but it kept eating at me...so here we are...a beautiful dark wood with some agate inside and some fleck of pyrite inside the wood.

I feel like there is a picture happening inside this piece. What do you see?

I will be going LIVE tomorrow on YouTube. Starting 11am-ish PST and will be live for several hours. Come join us!

I want to start off by saying that I'm not a master prepper...I'm still practicing.
This is one of the priscacara fish species that inhabited the green river formation approximately 52 million years ago.

This fish was found on August 21st towards the end of my day at Fossil Safari in Kemmerer, Wyoming.

I was on my last big block when it broke in a less than convenient spot only to review the cross section of its large bony fins.
I tried my best to keep everything together but alas...there was a small piece missing.
I was super hopeful for a nice complete fish.

After some prepping, this is where I'm at right now.
Unfortunately it's not an intact fish...the tail is missing...which tells me that this fish probably died before it got covered up.

I still prepped it anyways because this allows me to practice on prepping skills.

So if you collect fish from the quarries - keep the broken ones to practice on!

Thought I would work this fish and then uncovered an even smaller one at its tail!The fish are both Diplomystus Dentatus...

Thought I would work this fish and then uncovered an even smaller one at its tail!
The fish are both Diplomystus Dentatus.
This fish was caught at Fossil Safari on 8/20/24

These are not done just yet. They still need to be "sealed" to prevent any additional bones and scales from falling off.
