Hello!! If anyone has asked this question already then sorry, but i was curious about the embroidered fish fossils- are they based on specific specimen or species? I love how they look, theyre insanely cool!! You did an amazing job w them and i wish you all the best in your future projects!
I look through google for reference pictures so each one is based on a real specimen and species! the ones I embroider most commonly are from the genus Knightia. thank you so much!

A Fossil Palm Frond with Two Fish
Sabalites sp., Knightia eocaena, Priscacara liops
Early Eocene (approx. 50 million years ago)
Green River Formation, Lincoln County, Wyoming, United States
This natural fossil mural is framed in wood and measures 67½ by 49 by 3 inches (171.5 x 124.5 x 7.6 cm). 153 pounds (69.4 kg).
This specimen exhibits multiple large, fully-fanned frond segments and two well-preserved fish, Priscacara and Knightia.
Sold: 23,940 USD
Because their thin and delicate leaves are prone to rapid decomposition, palms rarely fossilize. As a result, large, intact specimens are exceptionally rare and highly prized. Adding to the science, the history, and the aesthetic of this natural fossil mural are two extinct fish, Priscacara and Knightia, preserved forever swimming thru the palms. Priscacara is a type of temperate bass, with Knightia representing a close cousin of herring and sardines. This fish pair—coupled with multiple fully opened palm fronds—capture a beautiful snapshot of an ancient American ecosystem.

The Time Fisher's Dinner
In a future without fish stock, fishers sail through the past to collect the catch of yesterday. But with 420 millions years of ocean life, even the past runs dry. No fish for tomorrow, they are left stranded in a world with only bugs and moss as extended community.
The children are getting hungry.

My application for The Starving Artist's online marine conservation exhibit; not another fish in the sea. Free entry, however there is less than a day left if you want in!
