Hemisaurida Fish that lived from the Cretaceous period, 100 million years old
The limestone formations in Lebanon from the Cretaceous period are notable for their exceptional variety of preserved fauna. Comparable to the renowned Solnhofen deposits in Germany, these fossils frequently match the color of their limestone matrix. Specifically, the limestone quarries at Sahel Alma, Hajoula, and Haqel, dating back to the Cenomanian Stage of the Middle Cretaceous around 100 million years ago, are distinguished for their exceptionally well-preserved fossil fish, alongside a rich array of other invertebrates, including shrimp and lobsters.
