Hello all, I found the following (possible) Hoploparia sp. tail, abdomen section, and partial claw/arm on a recent trip in NJ. I haven't seen too many of these posted so I thought I would share. I also included a video to show how much is exposed on each side. Thanks for viewing. VID_178761207_233632_277.mp4

Hoploparia gabbi lobster from the late Cretaceous of NJ
non-remanié posted a topic in Member Collections
Here's a nice specimen of the lobster Hoplolaria gabbi from the late Cretaceous of New Jersey. When found it was almost completely obscured by rather tough concretionary matrix, but I knew it may be quite complete underneath, so I brought it to Ralph Johnson who kindly prepped it for me. With his great experience, he of course did a wonderful job.- 13 replies

I started this lobster quite awhile ago and threw it aside when I got disgusted when I saw there was no tail. No tail whatsoever. Nodda, nothing, gone, just a blank piece of rock. Soooo, I figure I will just build one? Scary for sure. Ive built a piece of tail before, but never the intire thing! Anyways, you can see in the first pic were its been sittin for many many months and the next pic where I dusted it off. This specimen has both claws but not in the best shape,,,, and the head is a bit crushed but the good thing is that it is there! Whew. Not sure how well I can rebuild an intire tail end but I will do the best that I can. Wish me luck. RB
