SOLD Cretaceous Era Fossil - Prionolepis 8.73" - Sannine Formation

93 million years ago, prehistoric sea creatures swam in the coastal waters of what is now the Sannine Formation. This limestone deposit in northern Lebanon is a treasure trove of fossil specimens that paleontologists are learning more about each day.

This specimen is a 8.73" showcase Prionolepis fossil. Prionolepis was a genus of ray-finned fish immediately recognizable by its scutes, which were smooth along their length and ended in a serrated pattern. These scutes likely formed a single row that protected the entirety of the fish. The fossil is estimated to be over 93 million years old and includes a black metal stand and a certificate of authenticity.
