This is one mean-looking fossil fish! It is a large Eurypholis sp. 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 down to the individual rays of the fins. The full array of LARGE teeth are fully natural (unrestored) and unmistakable. The three large scales behind the head are still articulated, which is unusual. The fish is nicely displayed on the large, oval plate of limestone. This is a fabulous specimen of this ferocious fossil fish - easily one the most sought-after fossil fish from Lebanon.
