This is one fierce-looking fossil fish! It is an excellent Eurypholis boisseri (Viperfish) from the Cretaceous Layers of Lebanon. Fossils from this region have become increasingly difficult to obtain due to political unrest. This sleek specimen is an extinct viperfish, one of the most predatory fish in the fossil record. The fish is complete down to the individual bones and rays of the fins. The mouth is full of LARGE teeth that are easily seen and, frankly, unmistakable. The fish is nicely displayed on the large, squared plate of sublithographic limestone. This is a very displayable specimen of this carniverous fossil fish - easily one the most sought-after fossil fish from Lebanon.
