SA-24AUTHENTIC 50 MILLION YEAR OLD FOSSIL FRAMED FOR HANGINGGreen River Stone Company Contact: Gregory E. Laco Website: [email protected]: 763-551-0001It’s a Diplomystus dentatus, an Eocene fish with no modern descendants. When this fish was alive, it swam in a tropical lake in what is now Southwestern Wyoming. “Fossil Lake” as it is known, had an anoxic zone at the bottom, so when a fish fell to the lakebed there were no scavengers, and decomposition was slow. This often led to near-perfect preservation of the specimen as a fossil. Green River Stone Company owns a quarry in the sedimentary remains of the ancient lake, which is now at 7200 feet of elevation in sagebrush covered environment with abundant Pronghorn Antelope. Each summer, a team led by the staff Geologist harvests fossil stone slabs and specimens by hand. They are then taken to Logan, UT, where artisans use fine hand tools to remove stone from the fossil to reveal the pristine fossil within. This item is part of Green River Stone Company’s Scientific Plate series, patterned after the scientific journals of yesteryear. The border, Latin scientific species, and information on its origin are laser etched into the limestone for a truly one-of-a-kind treasure. Value, $625

SN-46KUIU GEARKuiu is born from the tradition of hard mountain hunting. Mountain hunting is as rich in exposure and suffering and heroic efforts, often in the face of difficult and tempestuous weather, as it is the kill. And like no other sport or campaign this style of hunting depends on well-reasoned, fully functional kit that is light, packable and dependable. That is what we make, this is why we exist. Kuiu is committed to manufacturing the finest and lightest hunting clothing, accessories and packs. We are auctioning off Chugach jacket and pants.Value $1000
