The fossils that come from the Green River Formation are approximately 60 million years old and come from the era known as the Eocene. They are celebrated for the outstanding detail they show. Many species of perfectly preserved fish are included in the fauna, but on very rare occasions bird fossils are found, sometimes even showing feathers. The Green River Formation is named after the Green River, a tributary of the Colorado River in the south west of the United States.
