Hemisaurida Fish
Hemisaurida Fish that lived from the Cretaceous period 100 Million years old. The Cretaceous limestone deposits of Lebanon are rich with an amazing diversity of fauna. Fossils from these deposits easily rival those from Solnhofen in Germany and share with Solnhofen the phenomenon of fossils often being the same color as the limestone matrix. The limestone deposits of Sahel Alma, Hajoula, and Haqel, Lebanon date to the Cenomanian Stage of the Middle Cretaceous, some 100 million years ago, and are most famous for exquisitely fossil fish preservation, but also produce a diversity of other well-preserved invertebrate fossils such as shrimp and lobsters.
