Here is an absolutely gorgeous fossil fish. This is Diplomystus poweri from the Middle Cretaceous of Lebanon. Due to political unrest, specimens from this site are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. This wide-bodied fish exhibits extraordinary detail. The bone structure and fins are nicely displayed. The eye socket of the fish is easily seen. The fossil has great, natural orange color and superb contrast with the light colored matrix. This unusual fish is well centered on a semi-squared plate of matrix. This is a beautiful specimen of an exotic fish from an area that is producing fewer and fewer specimens.
