Description
Fossils and RelatedTwo Fossil Fish on Same Matrix Block!
100 Million Year Old Guitarfish and Herring-Like Fish, Lebanon.
The most desirable fish fossils come from Lebanon. They are so highly coveted because of their age, and the orange-brown color. This particular fossil contains both the rare Guitarfish, Rhinobatis, as well as a herring-like fish, pseudoberyx. The rare, 7.5” Guitarfish is nearly complete and is entirely cartilagenous, as is every relative of sharks and rays. The eyes, nose, tail and some of the rays are defined. The smaller, 6” herring-like fish is also near complete with ribs and fins well defined, missing just the tip of the head. Different species of fish found in combination are very rare as fossils. All fossil rays are rare in the fossil record due to their delicate bone structure.
