Only a small fraction of life makes it into the fossil record. Most living organisms simply disappear without a trace. Phareodus was a genus of freshwater fish from the Eocene to the Oligocene of Australia, Europe and North America, with an oval outline, a small head, and a slightly pointed snout. This striking piece of natural history contains a 4.75″ Phareodus.
