This is one fierce-looking fossil fish! It is a large 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 a Viperfish, one of the most predatory fish in the fossil record. The fish is complete and wonderfully preserved in a diving pose. The mouth is full of LARGE teeth that are easily seen and, frankly, unmistakable. The fish is nicely displayed on the large, semi-rectangular 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.
