This is an unusual fossil fish. It is a large, unidentified fish from the Cretaceous of Lebanon. Due to political unrest, fossils from this site are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. This elongate specimen is complete and exhibits outstanding detail. The bone structure is easily seen, and the fins are quite distinct. The distinct tail of the fish is clearly defined. The natural, brownish color of the fish is very striking and contrasts wonderfully with the light-colored matrix. The fish is well displayed on the large plate of sublithographic limestone. This is an fine example of this long fish from the Cretaceous.
