About the Item
An exceedingly rare, significant and exceptional discovery of a Ray fish [Rhinobatos hakelensis] and Sawfish [Libanopristis hiram] complete and preserved with exceptionally fine detail throughout both genus types. Discovered in Haqel, Lebanon, a site renowned for its rich geological and palaeontological history, where such specimens are embedded within the region's distinctive and beautiful sub-lithographic limestones, offers a rare glimpse into the marine life of the Eastern Mediterranean over a span of 6 million years 93+ million years ago. This discovery is particularly fascinating due to the size and preservation combined by both specimens on such a large and original plate. While many fossils of this type are often fragmented and partially preserved, these two specimens are complete, intact and measure a great 39 cm in length approximately. This is a highly unusual discovery of scientific importance. Specimens of this size, preservation and condition are exceedingly rare.
[Please note: Plates, or slabs (not specimens) of this type typically feature a maximum size of 30-40 cm overall whilst displaying significant signs of damage throughout specimens, and these plates are usually severely fractured, showcasing disarticulated anatomies, plate discolouration and shifts caused by plate pressure movement during the process of preservation]. The preservation of the anatomical detail offers an extraordinary opportunity to study this rare and wonderful discovery in great detail, such discoveries highlight the geological significance of Haqel and the region's importance.
