AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Paleobalistum Goedeli belongs to the order Pycnodontiformes. The Picnodonti had a flattened body and strong teeth for crushing shells, which they fed on. Paleobalistum has a laterally high, diamond-shaped body, with a beautiful tail.
This magnificent specimen comes from the Hakel deposit in Lebanon, Upper Cretaceous (about 96 million years ago). It represents a large fish with a piece of lobster on the upper part and is a genuine, authentic fossil that has undergone conservation treatment to protect it from pollution, as is customary for museums, making it ready for display.
Sheet size: 237x235mm. Species size: 200x193mm.
Please note that most large fossils break during excavation, especially when there is geological distortion; in such cases, they are professionally glued.
The shipment is carried out via insured and traceable courier express, carefully packaged.
