This is an extremely fierce fossil fish! It is a very nice Eurypholis boisseri Viperfish from the Cretaceous Layers of Lebanon. Fossils from this region have become increasingly difficult to obtain due to political unrest, especially recently. This sleek specimen is a viperfish, one of the most predatory fish in the fossil record, and easily one the most sought-after fossil fish from Lebanon. The fish is complete down to the individual rays of the fins, and the mouth is full of sharp teeth. The fish is nicely displayed on the large, rectangular plate of sublithographic limestone that also contains a smaller fish. This is a very distinct specimen of this carniverous fossil fish that looks like it is searching for its next meal.
