Found what looks like to me like a tail of some crustacean in Saltwick Bay a few years ago. It's about 3 inches long, and the surface detail is incredibly well preserved. Was wondering if anyone has found anything similar, or knows what kind of crustacean it could have come from?

Do Tadpole shrimp fuel the imagination of trilobite behavior?
Biotalker posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I recently watched these short videos on Nostraca tadpole shrimp/ shield shrimp. I'm sure it has been observed a million times before, but I wondered how similar the behavior of these extant critters might be to trilobites, given their convergent anatomy. Eyes on top, mouths on the underside of a shield like head, multiple similar legs/gills along its ventral surface. So to see these crustaceans maneuver, eat and remarkably molt (middle of second video), I just imagine similar behavior from trilobites, those stony motionless objects of our endless fascination.- 3 replies

Oxford clay, Peterborough Member, Jurassic, Callovian, near Yaxley in Cambridgeshire. I spent the morning getting muddy in wet clay, and found this. I think it might be part of a hybodont spine, or other ornate fish spine. I've collected a fragment of hybodont spine from this site before. The surface does seem to be enamel, and the shape is slightly curved. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

I didn't get out hunting much last year, still working on figuring out how to research and find spots, but a friend of mine invited me out to do some collecting at one of his spots up in Washington State. I took some family with me and we went out over the Winter break in mid December. Pretty cold but beautiful! We're mainly looking for concretions weathered out of the formation, but occasionally you find Callianopsis claws loose in the formation, usually very brittle and in poor condition. Lots of mollusks to be found as well as crustacean material Our most common find were these Macoma We also found some Turritella and Acila The find of the day came pretty early on, Robert found this nice leaf, apparently pretty uncommon at the site Our spoils after the first hour of hunting A giant Callianopsis claw I found, sadly the rest of the concretion has weathered away leaving only an imprint with some shell And on the other end of the spectrum a tiny one found eroded out We didnt find any Pulalius, Aturia, or vertebrate material but we had a blast and found some pretty nice crustacean pieces Here's what's almost certainly a crab carapace, have to prep it to ID And a piece that looks to have both claws from Callianopsis and maybe some other pieces from it Both of these will have to wait until my micro scribe arrives for further prep, they're both very fragile with poor separation. While we were up there we stopped at Olympic National Park
