Order Clupeiformes, Family Clupeidae
The Clupeidae family has an estimated 50 modern freshwater species. Clupeidae species can lay as many as 200,000 eggs at once, allowing species to multiply quickly. Modern species are also prone to mass die offs.
K. eocaenaĀ is:

  • The most common fish found from Fossil Lake.
  • The most commonly found articulated vertebrate fossil in the world.
  • The Wyoming state fossil.

BothĀ K. eocaenaĀ andĀ K. altaĀ are frequently discovered in mass mortality plates, some containing up to 100 fish per square meter. This suggests that, like their modern relatives, theĀ KnightiaĀ species were sensitive to environmental changes.
K. eocaenaĀ specimens of all sizes are found in mass mortality plates, indicating this species schooled as both a juvenile and adult. The average adult size ofĀ K. eocaenaĀ specimens is about 6 inches, though specimens as large as 10 inches have been found.

*Actual product may vary from picture but will still be a mini Knightia eocaena
