Description from the seller
Two fossil fish Armigatus brevissimus preserved side by side on the same plate, from the famous Haqel deposits in Lebanon, Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian), around 100 million years old. Armigatus is an extinct relative of today's herrings and sardines. Both specimens show fine detail of the head, spine, ribs, fins and tail, in rich dark brown tones on a cream limestone matrix.
Carefully packed for shipping.
