Travel back approximately 70 million years with this remarkable fossil of Eurypholis boissieri, an extinct predatory fish from the Upper Cretaceous period. Preserved within natural limestone, this impressive specimen displays a beautifully articulated skeleton, including the skull, vertebrae, fins and tail, making it an excellent display piece for collectors of prehistoric life.
Recovered from the renowned fossil deposits of Lebanon, this fossil represents a fascinating glimpse into the marine ecosystems that existed long before the extinction of the dinosaurs. The warm reddish-brown fossil contrasts beautifully against the pale limestone matrix, creating an eye-catching natural display.
Natural fractures within the matrix are consistent with fossils from this locality and do not detract from the specimen's scientific or display value.
