Mioplosus labracoides

$0.00

Bass-like Fish (Eocene)

Mioplosus labracoides was a freshwater fish whose fossils are found almost exclusively in the ancient lakebeds of the Green River Formation. They grew to about 16 inches and are easily recognized by their elongated body shape and forked tailfins. Adult Mioplosus labracoides were likely solitary animals, as their fossils are not typically found near others of their species, but juvenile specimens of Mioplosus are often found within schools.
