Trachyteuthis

Hi Michael,

You wouldn't happen to have a picture of a squid that came out of the quarry, one that wasn't painted up, so we could see and compare. I know alot of fossils, especially rare or complex, have some restoration done just to make them more marketable.
 
painted lebanese fossils

As I just joined the list, I am not sure how to post photos of items to it. I don't have the time right this moment to figure out how to do it, so if anyone wants to see the difference between pained and non paineted Lebanese material, email me at

and I will email you some pics...and of an octopus I currently have now. And some other octopus and squid specimens as well if you like!
 
If anyone is interested in learning about Trachyteuthis, an interesting .pdf file has been put online and is available here:

Of particular interest is the two pairs of fins that are visible in exceptionally well preserved adult specimens. This groups Trachyteuthis with the vampyromorphs.
