100 Million Year Old Short Tailed Skate From Hakel, Lebanon. Cyclobatis was a small bottom-dwelling skate found in the warm seas of 100 million years ago near Hakel, Lebanon. This outstanding, full-size skate is 7" x 3 1/2" and is complete with its tiny cartilaginous spines, three small stingers on its tail and even two black spots where its eyes were located. The medium brown adult skate is nicely centered on an 8 1/2" x 7" gray-brown matrix. The cretaceous seas of Lebanon were known for their fish, but the skates and rays are much rarer and highly sought after by collectors. Add $25 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $600 - 850.
