Comments: Mortality plate. Clupeid , clupeiform. Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Actinopterygii, Order: Clupeiformes, Family: Clupeidae, Subfamily: Pellonulinae, Genus: Knightia.The legendary sites of the formation from Green River in Wyoming whose fossils are very valued by its variety, high quality, and conservation, as well as fish, other invertebrates and plants have been located in this excellently preserved, according to scientific training this magnificent state of conservation in the world, it is due to a combination of two factors: first, a period of cold deep during the Eocene, which would have caused that lifeless fish had sunk faster since its swim bladder would have inflated less and second the great depth of the lakes and the exceptional conditions of lack of oxygen in the water, this would have prevented scavengers animals destroyed the corpses. This fossil fish comes from famous deposits in Green River Formation. Knigtia is an extint genus of fish from the Eocene. Fossils of this fish are commonly found in this area , along with other interesting genus the Knigtia formed part as fundamental food in the diet of other larger fish also extinct as Diplomystus , Priscacara, Mioplosus, Phaerodus, Notogoneus and others . Its habitat in all probability were lakes and freshwater streams, feed on small organisms such as tadpoles, shrimp, crabs and snails that tore with their powerful jaws. The eight fish that have capriciously fossilized in a position of death that are conserved in this plate, died due to a sudden event, perhaps caused by a change of temperature of the shallow waters and probably by the poisoning generated by the accumulation of gas ( hydrogen sulfide) released by decaying organic matter, at the bottom of the lake due to accumulated algal blooms and the absence of oxygen.
