This is one fierce-looking fossil fish! It is a very large Eurypholis sp. 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 a Viperfish, one of the most predatory fish in the fossil record. The fish is complete down to the individual rays of the fins and tail. The mouth is full of LARGE teeth that are fully natural (unrestored and unenhanced) and, frankly, unmistakable. The fish is nicely displayed on the large, rectangular plate of sublithographic limestone that also contains a tiny complete fish on the back of the Eurypholis' head. This is a very displayable specimen of this carniverous fossil fish - easily one the most sought-after fossil fish from Lebanon.
