50 Million Year Old Fossil Fish Console Table, Green River Formation, Wyoming

About the Item

This elegant console table features four natural Eocene era fossil fish: two Cockerellites liops (formerly known as Priscacara) and two Knightia eocaena. These fossil fish date back about 50 million years, and they are forever preserved in a matrix of natural, fossil-bearing limestone. This stunning piece of natural history works beautifully with design styles ranging from traditional to modern. The tabletop measures 8" x 34" and the table stands 31 and 5/8" tall. The style of table base is a study in elegant restraint. The color of the forged steel compliments the color of the natural fossils perfectly and the textures of the stone and forged steel work beautifully together.

Fifty million years ago, in southwestern Wyoming, a tropical freshwater lake teemed with life. Turtles, fish, crocodiles, and lush vegetation were all once well-established inhabitants of the region. Today, the lake has transformed into an incredibly rich cache of fossils where the past is forever preserved in layers of natural limestone. This is famously known as the Green River Formation. Professional fossil hunters scout out and excavate fossils from Green River Fossil Company's private quarry; the fossils are then brought to the GRFC lab in northern Utah. Leading experts in fossil preparation perform the painstaking task of revealing the finely preserved details of every specimen. All work adheres to the strict standards of the American Association of Applied Paleontological Science, as is attested to in each work of art's unique Certificate of Authenticity. Green River Fossil Company has supplied exquisite examples of natural art and outstanding specimens to world-class museums, universities, collectors, interior designers, and art lovers. The collection of natural history presented here highlights important one-of-a-kind specimens as well as attainable works of natural art. In addition to the collection of unique, sculptural art presented on 1stDibs, Green River Fossil Company custom crafts incredible and unique fossil projects. From kitchens, vanities, and baths to feature walls, fireplaces, and furniture, GRFC has the ability to create nearly any custom job you and your design team can imagine.
