The Green River Formation of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming is one of the world's best locations for finding fossil fish. These Eocene fossils were preserved in intermountain lake basins while the Rocky Mountains were still growing! These fossils are over 50 million years old.
Cockerellites liops (formerly Prisca Cara liops) occurs in at least one mass-mortality layer, indicating it was a schooling fish. It closely resembles a modern sunfish.
