Green River Formation Fossils @ Rare Earth Gallery

The Green River Formation is an Eocene geologic formation that records the sedimentation in a group of intermountain lakes in three basins along the present-day Green River in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.

I made a trip to Rare Earth Gallery to pick out my Christmas present.  Place is huge and the selection extraordinary.

In addition to all the treasures inside there was a good selection of water fountains out back.

Lovely view of the mountains.


Inside were bowls for sound therapy and minerals of all shapes and sizes.  I loved the cool sounds you can make with the bowls.


What caught my eyes were the fish fossils.  The coolest looking was the fridge size panel.  Sadly the $40k panel was out of our budget.

 

I did find an affordable $129 one.

 

It was a Knightia eocaena Fossil Fish .  Fish fossils are from Kemmerer, Wyoming Green River Formation Eocene age (45-50 MYA).  Lovely piece of history now displayed in my living room.  🙂

    1. Thanks! That was a one of a kind shop.

  2. Very cool and interesting place! Here’s hoping you win the lottery and can pick up a $40K piece next time. 👍

    1. Thanks! I’ll need to buy a place worthy of $40k artwork.
