Knightia Fish Authentic Fossil // Museum Display

This jaw-dropping collection from RARE-T features a staggering array of authentic antiques, artifacts, oddities, skulls, and cruelty-free taxidermy from various eras in history.

This custom museum display showcases an Authentic Knightia Fish Fossil which is 48-53 million years old. Knightia is an extinct genus of clupeid clupeiform - a bony fish that lived in the fresh water lakes and rivers of North America and Asia during the Eocene epoch. Knightia belongs to the same taxonomic family as herring and sardines, and resembled the former closely enough that both Knightia alta and Knightia eocaena were originally described as species of true herring in the genus Clupea. As with modern-day clupeids, Knightia likely fed on algae and diatoms, as well as insects and the occasional smaller fish.

It's protected under plexiglass in a custom display to keep it looking pristine, ensuring protection of your investment while allowing you to fully appreciate this piece of collectible fossil. The customized descriptive metallic plaque, in addition to the detailed finishing add to the elegant, gallery quality look. Complete with a certificate of authenticity, this piece is an investment that will only get better with age.
