Knightia Alta Fish Real Authentic Jurassic Dinosaur Fossil Natural History Museum Quality Box Frame Wall Hanging Display Home Decor Ornament

This Knightia Alta Fish Fossil (44 million years old) has been displayed and elegantly mounted in a museum quality deep box frame, by our expert in house team. Knightia is an extinct genus of bony fish that lived in the freshwater lakes and rivers of North America and Asia during the Eocene epoch, approximately 50 - 40 Million years ago. It is one of the most commonly excavated fish fossils in the world, with hundreds occasionally being found in a single square metre of fossiliferous rock. Due to this evidence of mass mortality, and the known behaviour of closely related modern-day fish such as herring and sardines, it is believed that ​​these fish lived in large shoals of hundreds of individuals. The frame is made from satin-finished acrylic. Each specimen is mounted on a 300 GSM acid-free card stock which includes both the scientific and common name of the insect printed below. The frame can either be self-standing or mounted using the invisible wall hanging bracket. All of our specimens are responsibly sourced and handcrafted to order by one of our Curated team members in our Cheshire studio. The picture shown is an example of the quality that you can expect to receive. Please be aware that, as our products are 100% authentic and organic, they are subject to variation.
