A plate with
fossils of
Pseudostacus sp. (lobster, left) and
Diplomystus birdii (fish, right), from the
Hakel paleontological formation in Lebanon. The
paleontological sites of Lebanon contain deposits of some of the best-preserved fossils in the world, and include some species found nowhere else. The most famous of these is the Lebanese
lagerstätten of the Late
Cretaceous age.
