This is a beautiful fossil shrimp from the Jurassic of Germany. It is a huge Aeger tipularis from the famous Solnhofen Lithographic Limestone. This shrimp is extremely large and amazingly well-preserved. The pointed rostrum, head, carapace, legs, and even the long, segmented antennae are all and wonderfully displayed - just look at the incredible detail! The shrimp has great dark color and strong contrast and is wonderfully showcased on the large (6.8'' X 10.7''), rectangular plate of lithographic limestone. This is simply a museum quality example of Aeger tipularis, probably the most detailed and best quality example of a fossil shrimp that we have ever had.
