Description
This is an authentic multi-fish fossil slab from the famous Haqel/Hjoula fossil beds of Lebanon, dating back to the Upper Cretaceous period , approximately 95 to 100 million years old (Cenomanian age). These limestone quarries are internationally known for producing some of the world’s finest preserved marine fossils from the ancient Tethys Sea.
The slab features three visible fish fossils, including:
• One larger, fully articulated specimen with clearly preserved vertebrae, fin rays, and tail structure.
• Two smaller fish, positioned above the main specimen, showing detailed bone patterns and fin impressions.
The preservation is characteristic of Lebanese limestone fossils:
•Fine anatomical detail
•Natural earthy coloration (brown and beige tones)
•Original limestone matrix without heavy restoration
The fish appear consistent with the common genera found in this formation, such as Eurypholis, Diplomystus, or small Clupeidae slender, elongated fish typical of the Cenomanian shallow marine environment.
