Eocene
Western North America

Knightia was a herring like fish that lived in large schools in the great Eocene age lakes of the western U.S.

The upturned mouth indicates that it was a surface feeder.

Because of its abundance, Knightia served as food for a number of other, larger fish; sometimes being preserved within the stomach region of fossils fish.

See items 133 and 134 for other fish that lived with Knightia.
