Diamond-shaped Stingray

SKU: GD-L1401W Category:

Rust-toned hues emerge from the warm beige matrix, revealing the distinctive diamond-shaped form of a stingray gracefully preserved as it once glided along the ancient ocean floor. This exceptional specimen, originating from the Cretaceous limestones of Lebanon, showcases remarkable size and pristine preservation on its original matrix. Lebanon’s fossil-rich history, celebrated by Greek historians and noted during the Crusades, continues to intrigue, though much remains unexplored due to geopolitical challenges.
Elegantly mounted on a custom ebony base, this stingray is a quintessential example, making it a standout addition to any collection.
