About the Item
Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of natural history with our exquisite collection of luxury fossil art. Showcasing breathtaking natural specimens from the legendary Green River Formation in Wyoming, each piece crafted by Green River Fossil Company is a masterpiece meticulously prepared to merge the worlds of natural history and refined artistry.
An elegant flow of Eocene Era fossil fish from the Green River Formation are featured in this sculptural stone mural: a Phareodus testis, two Diplomystus dentatus, four Cockerellites liops, and three Knightia eocaena. These fossil fish are about 50 million years old and are forever preserved in a textured matrix of natural, fossil-bearing limestone. The soft beige and tan tones of this natural limestone provides a perfect contrast for the rich dark brown hues of the fossils.
The mural measures approximately 3.1 feet x 6.1 feet. It is fully backed with wood and it includes a handmade custom Wenge wood frame which compliments the fossil color beautifully. The mural has a built-in French cleat, which allows for an easy installation.

ABOUT OUR WORK
Green River Fossil Company is a world leader in fossil preparation and presentation, specializing in the unique fossil treasures available from the Green River Formation of Wyoming, USA.
Fifty million years ago, in southwestern Wyoming, a tropical freshwater lake teemed with life. Turtles, fish, crocodiles, and lush vegetation were all once well-established inhabitants of the region. Today, the lake has transformed into an incredibly rich cache of fossils where the past is forever preserved in layers of natural, sculptural limestone. This is famously known as the Green River Formation.
Professional fossil hunters scout out and excavate fossils from Green River Fossil Company's private quarry; the fossils are then brought to the GRFC lab in northern Utah. Leading experts in fossil preparation perform the painstaking task of revealing the finely preserved details of every specimen. All work adheres to the strict standards of the American Association of Applied Paleontological Science, as is attested to in each work of art's unique Certificate of Authenticity.
Green River Fossil Company has supplied exquisite examples of natural art and outstanding specimens to world-class museums, universities, collectors, interior designers, and art lovers. The collection of natural history presented here highlights important one-of-a-kind specimens as well as attainable works of natural art.
In addition to the collection of unique, sculptural art presented on 1stDibs, Green River Fossil Company custom crafts incredible and unique fossil projects. From kitchens, vanities, and baths to feature walls, fireplaces, and furniture, GRFC has the ability to create nearly any custom job you and your design team can imagine.

Green River Fossil Company
The Green River Fossil Company provides a unique decor option that would be difficult for any other firm to offer — 50-million-year-old fossils from the early Eocene Period. The company extracts all their fossils from the compacted sediment where there was once a freshwater lake located in Wyoming. With the fossils they acquire, the company produces one-of-a-kind, museum-quality murals, interior design projects and free-standing fossil stone products, each unlike any other.
Green River Fossil affords clients the opportunity to possess the remnants of an era that predates humankind by millions of years. Murals comprising the fossils of extinct turtles, fish — even palm fronds — offer a connection to a time when the Earth was almost an entirely different world altogether.
Many private collections and museums display murals produced by Green River, including the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Houston, Texas.
Founded in 2000, Green River Fossil owns a private quarry in Wyoming and has established its preparatory labs in Logan, Utah. All fossils are collected and prepared according to a strict code of ethics put forth by the American Association of Paleontological Suppliers, as well as all state and federal laws.
