  1. In my collection I have an Enchodus marchesettii, but in doing more research I am unsure about the relationship it has to other Enchodus, and it's spread as there seem to be very very few specimens, and most are mislabeled Eurypholis or Spaniodon. I am just very interested if anyone has any papers on Lebanon fish.
  2. At last week's NJ fossil show, I purchased one fossil, a cretaceous fish with an unusual feature. It is a Coccodus from Lebanon, its length is 6.5 inch (16cm) and dates to 95mya. Coccodus is a pycnodont, an extinct group of fish which lived from the late Triassic to the late Eocene. A pycnodont primary characteristic is molariform teeth, rounded and blunt, suitable for crushing shellfish amongst other prey. This specimen appears to be split with the dorsal surface exposed. What caught my eye is that most of the dentition appears intact, with a bones forming a maxilla and “palate” vault-like structure rising above the plane of the specimen. It would be remarkable to reveal both upper and lower dentition within (course I’d probably ruin the fossil). Note the bizarre shapes of the teeth that are exposed.

    Ctenothrissa vexillifer (Pictet, 1850)

    The transcription of the Arabic terms and names is often ambiguous. In the literature the locality is called Hakel, Hâkel, Hackel, Haquil or Haquel. Taxonomy from GBIF.org. Alternative combination: Beryx vexillifer Pictet 1850. Diagnosis for the genus Ctenothrissa from Woodward 1899, p. 490: "Head large; trunk deeply fusiform and laterally compressed, but ventral border of abdomen flattened. Maxilla robust and arched, with two large supramaxillary bones; mandible deep, a little prominent, and gape of mouth not extending behind the middle of the large orbit; minute teeth on the margin of the jaws. Preoperculum only slightly expanded; operculum and suboperculum, deep and narrow. Vertebrae from 30 to 40 in number, half being caudal. Pe]vic fins much enlarged and inserted far forwards; dorsal fin much deepened, occupying about half of the back; anal fin small; caudal fin deeply cleft. Scales pectinated, large and regularly arranged, none enlarged or thickened, and no dorsal or ventral ridge-scales ; lateral line conspicuous." References: Woodward, A. S., (1899): Note on some Cretaceous clupeoid fishes with pectinated scales (Ctenothrissa and Pseudoberyx). Annals and Magazine of Natural History, series 7 3:489-492. Woodward, A. S., (1891–1901): Catalogue of Fossil Fishes in the British Museum, Parts 1–4. London: British Museum.
  4. The transcription of the Arabic terms and names is often ambiguous. In the literature the locality is called Hakel, Haqel or Haquel. Taxonomy from Forrey et al., 2003. Alternative combination: Clupea bottae Pictet & Humbert, 1866; Synonym: Pseudoberyx longispina Davis 1887. Diagnosis for the genus Nematonotus according to Woodward, 1901: ”Head large, trunk short and robust. Mandibular suspensorium nearly vertical; jaws delicate and maxilla apparently not expanded behind; teeth minute. Vertebrae about 30 in number, half being caudal; the centra at least as long as deep, with a few prominent longitudinal ridges; ribs moderately robust. Pectoral fins small, close to the ventral border; pelvic fins smaller, opposed to the dorsal fin, which is situated within the anterior half of the back and exhibits one anterior ray excessively elongated and closely articulated; anal fin very small and remote; caudal fin stout but deeply forked. Scales large, smooth, and uniform, moderately thick, not serrated at the hinder border; lateral line conspicuous.” According to Forrey et al., 2003, p.302, the validity of N. bottae needs to be investigated: ”There are two recognized species, the other being N. longispinus (Davis, 1887), which is distinguished from the type species by having a greatly elongated third dorsal fin ray and an elongated second pectoral fin ray. Unfortunately, these hypertrophied fin rays are both extremely delicate and in all but the best-preserved specimens are usually broken. Further, it needs to be said that these fin rays are also extended to some extent in N. bottae. This makes separation of the two species difficult. … We cannot find any other differences between the two species except the elongation of the fin rays in N. longispinus. Clearly, a more intensive study of more specimens is needed to justify the validity of the two species and their defining characters.” Identified by oilshale using Forey et al., 2003.

    Fish Aspirations!

    One of the rarest and most unique fossils are aspiration pieces! I have been very lucky in acquiring 2 over the course of collecting, neither are incredibly good, but their rarity alone makes them that much more desirable! I would love to see anyone else's fish with eyes bigger than their stomachs!
  6. Hi all, I have a shark fossil from Hakel, Lebanon that is unidentified I presume it is of the Scyliorhinus genus. I was hoping someone would be able to tell me what species it is. It measures approximately 13 inches Thank you
  7. Outdated name: "Urenchelys" germanus HAY, 1903. From Wikipedia: "This genus is interesting as comprising the oldest known eels, which differ from all the tertiary and existing eels in still retaining the caudal fin. Teeth small, bluntly conical, and arranged in numerous series. Slender branchiostegal rays not curving round the opercular apparatus. Vertebrae exceeding 100 in number, the hindermost bearing a pair of expanded hypural bones. Pectoral fins present; dorsal fins arising immediately behind the occiput and extending to the caudal fin, which has stouter rays and is very small but separate. Scales rudimentary." Diagnosis translated by oilshale from French (Belouze et al. 2003, p. 353): "Anguillimorphic fish with about 102 vertebrae; heavily ossified head with massive cleithra and numerous pectoral rays; mesethmoid, separate vomer and premaxillae and paired rostral toothed plates; unwelded frontals with deep groove for supraorbital sensory canal; small supraoccipital and epiotics excluded from participation in cranial roof; palatopterygoid arch with long ecto- and entopterygoids, intimately connected to the other elements of the suspensorium; massive mandible with autogenous articuloanguloretroarticular and rounded posterolateral termination of the dentary; coronomeckelian reduced and not enclosed by the median fork of the dentary; posterior end of maxilla massive and quadrangular; multiseriate teeth numerous and small; about 13 branchiosteal rays and urohyal (bifid?) with corded head; absence of pelvic fins; caudal fin very close to dorsal and anal fins (LDFF around enPU2 and LAFF around ehPU3); 11 ventral caudal rays, 12 dorsal; first preural vertebra with neural spine." Identified by Dr. Norbert Micklich, Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt (HLMD). References: Anne Belouze, Mireille Gayet & Claude Atallah (2003) Les premiers Anguilliformes : II. Paraphylie du genre Urenchelys WOODWARD, 1900 et relations phylogénétiques. Geobios 36(4):351-378.

    Baby Enchodus marchesettii?

    Greetings! I have in my collection what I believe to be a baby Enchodus marchesettii from Lebanon. The fish is about an inch long and bears a close resplendence to my adult Enchodus. I was wondering if anyone else here has a confirmed baby Enchodus and could send some pictures so I could compare! I'll hopefully get around to posting a picture of it soon!
