Description from the seller
Fossil fish Enchodus sp. from Nammoura, Lebanon, Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian), around 95–100 million years old. Enchodus, nicknamed the "saber-toothed herring", was a fierce marine predator known for its large fang-like teeth, related to today's lizardfishes. This specimen shows a clearly visible head and jaws, vertebral column, ribs, fin rays and a well preserved forked tail, in warm orange tones on a pale limestone matrix.
Carefully packed for shipping.
