Description:

年代(Age): Eocene 53.5-48.5 Ma。 尺寸(Size): 20.5×14.5×1.5 cm。 描述 Description:Around 50 million years ago, what is now Wyoming, USA, was once a vast lake with a rich and diverse ecosystem. Understanding the food chain of that time relies on fossil evidence, and this specimen is a remarkable example of such evidence. This Diplomystus sp., a predatory fish, died in the very act of swallowing a Knightia sp., capturing a rare and direct glimpse into ancient lake predation. Such discoveries are extremely uncommon and provide invaluable insight into the structure of the prehistoric food web. Additionally, this fossil is an exceptionally old collector's piece, preserving not only the natural history of 50 million years ago but also carrying a long legacy of scientific and private collection. It holds great scientific and historical value as both a research specimen and a collectible artifact.

  • Provenance: Origin:Wyoming, US。 產地:美國 懷俄明州。
