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 fully natural and, frankly, unmistakable. The fish is nicely displayed on the large, squared plate of sublithographic limestone that also contains a complete Prionolepis fish. This is a great association plate of two different types of fossil fish from the Cretaceous.
