Lebanon fossils!

The lagerstatte of Lebanon is famous for well preserved fish, invertebrates, plants, and flying reptiles. Workers there quarry through tons of limestone to pull up slabs of marine animals. Fossils tend to be very well preserved and sometimes includes soft-body preservation details such as the skin of sharks and even the soft tentacles of cephalopods. The fossils are middle Cretaceous in age, around 95 million years old, give or take 3 mil. In recent times, fossil exports from Lebanon has been slowed down due to conflict in the region and new export laws. Most of the ones you see here are from an old estate collection that was cleared out in June. Remember, there is absolutely no restoration to these specimens, no coloring or touchups, just some repaired cracks.
