This is a very unusual fossil lobster from the Jurassic. It is a large Mecochirus longimanatus from the famous Solnhofen Limestone of Germany. This particular decapod was found in the 1970's. This type of arthropod has extremely long appendages that stretch out in front of the body. These appendages are quite evident on this specimen. The head, body, legs, and fan tail of the lobster are also easily seen. The fossil has great natural color and contrast and is extremely well centered on the large plate of lithographic limestone. This is a very displayable example of this long-armed crustacean from Germany.

This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
