An extremely rare Lebanese multi-plate displaying two very large specimens of a Ray fish and Shovel nose shark preserved within a stunning and originally authentic sub-lithographic limestone slab that dates back to the Mesozoic, some 99,000,000+ million years. Each specimen has articulated beautifully helping to showcase the finer details of their anatomies which are a wonder to look at.

The Ray [Rhinobatos Hakelensis] and the Shovelnose shark [Libanopristis Hiram] originate from the sub-lithographic limestone formation in Haqel, Lebanon.

It is difficult to discover specimens of this size in their original bedrock. Normally discoveries are no greater than a 1ft in length, including the surrounding matrix which is normally broken and missing in areas. The price of such discoveries are usually £500 GBP per inch (in length). This sees a single 1 ft Ray within a piece of matrix its own size, jagged edged and round with breaks fetch around £6000 today.
