Some years ago I have seen a fish in the net from Lebanon. Should be a new species, but it was till 2018 not described. Why I ask, I got one of this genus (just in prep, so I show the original pic from the net) and do not have a name for it. Our is 28 cm (11"), the one from the net is approx. 20 There are two figured in Gayet, Abi Saad & Gaudant: the fossils of Lebanon, page 115, not name I asked Pierre Abi Saad last week but he does not know, too should be a paper about it, but cound not find Does anyone has an idea? thanks
