MIOPLOSUS
Green River Formation
Eocene period
Wyoming

 

 A voracious predator, Mioplosus is the fish most commonly found eating other fish, something for which the Green River fish fossils are famous.  It is an ancestor of the perch, and is easily identified by its elongated form, intermixed canine-like teeth and spiny dorsal fin.
