New Members palaeos-fossils Posted September 26, 2012 New Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hi, Can anyone tell me the exact name of this Skatefish ? It looks like a Rhinobatos, but it's strange. It comes from Lebanon, Cretaceous, Cenomanian. Thank you for your help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 It is certainly in the genus Rhinobatos; perhaps the short snout is an artifact of preservation?
