AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Really beautiful plate with fish from lebanon. cretaceous period. completely natural. Lebanon Hajoula. The animal's details are evident.
A nice example of a Diplomystus Birdi fish from Hjoula, Byblos, Lebanon. It is a precursor to the well-known fish Diplomystus dentatus, from the Eocene Green River deposits of Wyoming. Meaning that this particular genus lasted well over 45 million years and became extinct during the Miocene period. The serrated scales of the underside are a characteristic of the taxon.
