This is an unusual fossil fish plate. It is a large Nematonotus longispinus and other fish 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. Nematonotus longispinus has a very long dorsal fin, with one extremely long dorsal fin spine. The fish has great detail preserved - the tail, fins, and eye socket are all easily seen (and no restoration or color added!). The other fish is preserved in a contraflexed position and is also complete and extremely detailed. Both fossils have great natural color and are beautifully showcased on the large plate of sublithographic limestone. This is a great multiple example of these two distinct fossil fish from the Middle East.
