Amazing Fish Fossil With Another Fish In Its Stomach. This interesting 100 million year old, 9.5 inch long, salt water fish, Prionolepis from Lebanon, is complete with excellent detail on a 11 x 4 inch cream colored limestone slab. What makes it so special and rare is that within its stomach is its last meal, a 2 inch long fish that was swallowed whole and is still preserved intact with a clearly preserved head, bones, and its tail facing the head of the Prionolepis, which meant it was swallowed head first. This fascinating rare fossil has the orange brown fish nicely contrasted against the cream colored matrix.
