Amateur palaeontologist and photography nut. I’m fascinated by all types of fossils, but concentrate on Trilobites, mollusks and Eocene insects from British Columbia.
Yes, those fossils are from the Eocene White Lake Formation. It outcrops in several places in Kelowna, Westbank, Summerland, and near White Lake close to Okanagan Falls.

Beautiful photo!
Happy to clear that up for you. I only wish the original photo I took was better.

The website photo is the prepared specimen. The low resolution photo made in 1993 is an out of focus image of the specimen as found. Unfortunately the focus in that image made on slide film was completely off, as there is no instant feedback when using a film camera. Imagine my disappointment.
