This is a wonderful predatory fossil fish. It is a complete 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 wonderfully preserved with its mouth open and in a diving pose. The mouth has some LARGE teeth that are easily seen and, frankly, unmistakable. The fish is nicely displayed on the large, rectangular plate of sublithographic limestone. This is a very nice specimen of this carniverous fossil fish - easily one the most sought-after fossil fish from Lebanon.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
