What a way to end it. We sold out in 3 days. Thanks to everyone who made this business possible. So much love and support poured in from so many angles. Cheers everyone.

This year brings change. With opportunity in our hands, we have heavy heartedly chosen to pursue a new adventure. After eight plus years of owning and operating Ancient Lake Fossils Inc, the 2020 Tucson 22nd. St. Show will be our last trade show. We look forward to seeing those of you that can attend. It’s a bitter sweet transition, but we thank each and every person who has supported us over this time. Taking a step back from Green River Formation Fossils was an extremely difficult decision. However, it will always be in my blood. Again, thank you all. You are the ones that made it all worth it. I’d like to make a special thank you to my wife Katie Lindgren, my manager Dain Hanson, Tom and Christine Lindgren, and my brothers Tony and David Lindgren, Roland and Betty Lewis, Joe Aaronson, Walter and Bernie Hunt, John Issa, Blake and Brooke Sullivan, Arvid Aase, Makoto Takigawa, Enya Kim, Tommy Heitkamp, Matt Helm, Lance Grande, Bill Barker, Michael Andres, Jenny and Conrad Voels, George and Denise Lynch, Brad Justin and Ashley Gage. There are countless more, you all know who you are. Cheers to new beginnings!

In these photos is a Mioplosus choking on a Diplomystus. This is a very unique aspiration. Majority of aspirations happen with the fish that is being swallowed is going in head first and has the tail coming out of the mouth. Less common for them would be to get swallowed tail first with the head coming out. Here if you look closely you can see both the head and the tail coming out of the mouth. Also you can clearly see the vertebrae and dorsal scutes of the Diplomystus in the throat of the Mioplosus.

Here’s a couple of fine Mioplosus and a Diplomystus minutes after being split out of our upper split layers. Unfortunately not all layers produce this high quality of fossil though.
