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 tail are all and wonderfully displayed - just look at the incredible detail! The shrimp has great dark color and strong contrast and is beautifully showcased on the large, rectangular plate of lithographic limestone. The fossil has been expertly placed in a large wood frame for optimal display. This is a museum quality example of Aeger tipularis, probably the most displayable example of a fossil shrimp that we have ever had.
