Cretaceous Era Fossil - Cyclobatis 6.55" - 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 6.55" showcase Cyclobatis fossil. Cyclobatis was a skate, similar in appearance to a stingray but with thorns along its body for added protection. The fossil is estimated to be over 93 million years old and includes a black metal stand and a certificate of authenticity.
