About the Item

This dramatic stone triptych features a beautiful flow of fossil fish: six Diplomystus dentatus, three Cockerellites liops, and five Knightia eocaena. The delicate beige color of this sculptural, natural limestone provides a perfect backdrop for the rich bronze hues of the natural fossils. These 50 million year old fossil fish are from the Early Eocene Era and are exquisitely preserved in a textured matrix of natural, fossil-bearing limestone. The stone was discovered in our fossil quarry in southwestern Wyoming. The three panels in this triptych feature a finished beveled edge and are backed in wood with a built-in French cleat. This triptych ships in a custom wood crate, fully insured against loss or damage. It arrives ready for immediate installation. We would be glad to provide you with a shipping quote or to create renderings of this mural installed in your space.

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, sculptural 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.
