Found at the American Fossil Quarry north of Kemmerer, WY. Chapstick for scale. My spawn ate the last banana before I could use it. EDIT ITS CALLED Dorsoventrally Compressed. Thank you @goudist
Also, does anyone know what's it's called when the fish is fossilized from the top instead of on its side? I can not find the notes I made about this one and can't remember the term.

Any idea what fish it is? Diplomystus seems like a likely suspect, but I've only ever seen in in lateral view.

I was able to find my notes after and that's exactly what it is

You gonna eat that?

I think it might be a bit past it's good by date

I'm no ichthyologist but I'd call it dorsally compressed.

And that gave me the right words for the google search. Thank you! You were really close it's Dorsoventrally Compressed.
