This is a wonderful fossil association. It is a large Nematonotus fish and two Carpopenaeus shrimp from the Cretaceous of Lebanon. Political unrest in Lebanon has made fossil collecting difficult, and very few specimens will be exported in the coming years. This type of fish has an extremely long dorsal fin spine. The fish has great detail preserved - the tail, fins, and eye socket are all easily seen. The shrimp are also extremely detailed. The fossils have great natural color and are beautifully centered on the rectangular plate. This is a great example of this distinct fossil fish in association with two ancient crustaceans.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
