Quote: "Although the lobsters were interpreted as having relatively durable cuticle, the shrimp discussed herein are characterized by having very thin cuticle that is readily deformed and oriented in a variety of positions. As a result, the description and interpretation of the morphology of the shrimp is, of necessity, a composite of several specimens; however, fine detail of many parts of the skeletal anatomy is exquisite."
