This beautiful fish belongs to the order Beryciformes and is easily distinguished by the presence of robust, spiny-looking rays in the front part of the dorsal, anal, and ventral fins. It originates from the Hakel deposit in Lebanon, from the Upper Cretaceous period, approximately 96 million years ago.
This beautiful fossil measures 95 mm. There are also fossil remains on the back. It has undergone conservative treatment to protect it from pollution, as is done for museums, making it ready for display.
Please note that most fossils break during excavation; if this happens, they are professionally glued.
