Description: This is a new and undescribed fossil fish from the Cretaceous, Ramlia Taouz area of Morocco. It was found in sublithographic limestone much like that known for Lebanon. These fossil fish are relatively new to the market. This year I was able to procure the two best I found available. This one is much larger and better preserved than the others I saw. One of my friends is a paleontologist and a fish specialist. He gave me this determination. This specimen retains much of the bones of the vertebrae and head.
