Title

Publisher
English: U.S. National Park Service
Description
English:

A dark brown fossil fish eating a fossil fish about one third of its size on pale tan stone.

This fossil fish was not found in a mass mortality (beds that contain hundreds of fish on one surface) suggesting it did not die in a catastrophe. It most likely died from starvation or suffocation because it could not spit the Knightia out. Diplomystus is approximately 17 cm long and is in a private collection.
