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.
