This is a very displayable fossil lobster from the Jurassic. It is a Mecochirus brevimanatus from the famous Solnhofen Limestone of Germany. This particular arthropod has extremely long appendages that stretch out in front of the body. These appendages are quite evident on this specimen. The head, body, and legs of the shrimp are easily seen - even the antennae are clearly visible. The fossil has great color and contrast and is extremely well centered on the large, rectangular plate of lithographic limestone. This is a very distinct example of this long-armed decapod.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
