CATSHARK (with its counterpart)

Period: Middle Cretaceous, Cenomanian

Location: Haqil, Byblos, Lebanon

Some fossils are called "paired" fossils, when the layers containing a fossil are split open. As a

result, the fossil has a positive, raised image on one side and a negative, concave "mold" on
the other slab of stone. The 95-million-year-old catshark fossil in the picture is one such two-
part specimen. Catshark belong to sharks classification. The catshark shown here belongs to
the Scyliorhidinae family. Modern-day catshark are identical to those that lived 95 million
years ago, which fact challenges the theory of evolution.
