  1. Hi all, is this a Hesslerella shermani isopod from the Mazon Creek? It is from the Braidwood area Pit 11 I think it is one but I am no expert in this area
  2. Hi all, I have been seeking an isopod fossil for a while. I came across these unidentified Cretaceous marine fossils from Lebanon I know the isopod, Cirolana garassinoi, has been found in that region but these look nothing like that species. Could this be a yet-unidentified isopod?
  3. I have found this fossil about 40 years ago in the Swiss Alps (Flüeli-Ranft). Unfortunately, up to now nobody was able to identify this thing. It might be like an isopod, but have no idea at all, as I am a total non-expert, just a lucky finder. Would be great if someone finds out what it might be. As you can see, it has zig-zag on it.
  4. I find a lot of these guys, they look almost like little barrels. They leave an imprint on their flat side that looks similar to an ammonite. I have no idea what they are, I was thinking some sort of isopod but I can't seem to find info about them anywhere. They vary widely in size. I can take better pictures if anyone needs them

    Fossil Isopod

    11mm long. Found in Santa Barbara County, near Lake Cachuma, in the Monterey Formation (Miocene). It looks to me like an isopod. I've looked at online databases from the Natural History Museums of Santa Barbara and LA County, and searched the scientific literature, but could not find anything resembling it. I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

    Mississippian Isopod?

    I run across these guys frequently in the Mississippian Redwall Limestones around Arizona's Verde Valley. They are generally accompanied by lots of Crinoids and solitary Rugose Corals. They're always this oval shape with segmented structure. They look like an isopod, to me, but could be some other crustacean. Any help out there for the identification of these "bugs?"
  7. As I was working on some old 1080P video (replace with real still image) taken at the Oregon coast, I saw this little guy (either a chiton or isopod I believe) and thought how easy it would be to think it was an eyeless Trilobite. Have you seen any imposters (image, ID)?

    Bundle of root trichomes (possibly fern), isopod exuvia, and mite, all contained in the same specimen depicting pholadid crypts. Provenance of specimen is Tanai Township, Myitkyina District, Myanmar. This image was captured using a HAYEAR HY-1070 microscope.

    Isopod appreciation post!

    Isopoda... An incredibly diverse extant order, dating back no less than 270 million years, to the Permian. The humble pill bug, the common woodlouse, or the playful roly poly. They all belong to this stunning group of creatures, ranging from terrestrial to aquatic life. Just take a gander at some of these beauties: Pseudarmadillo assoi Pseudolaureola atlantica Calmanesia sp. Amazing, aren't they! 270 million years you say? There's got to be something to them, hasn't there? I'm sure there is, but I like to think that the universe just loves them, as I do! Now, one can't mention isopods without touching on trilobites. Ah, trilobites, known by many, loved by all. Isopod, right? Welllllll... No. Trilobites are unfortunately completely extinct, whereas, these impersonators, isopods, cramped their style, and outlived them... How cool is that! This is the end of my post, I guess! There's no real overarching message, it's... Just an appreciation post for Isopoda... Goodnight all, have a good one!
  10. This is a relatively rare member of the marine (Essex) portion of the Mazon Creek deposit. Hesslerella shermani looks to the casual observer to be some type of shrimp. It is actually a marine isopod related to modern day pill bugs. One of the main features that differentiate it from a shrimp is that it lacks a carapace. Other distinguishing characteristics are a rounded head with large eyes. The legs are also similar in length. Hesslerella is one of the smallest crustaceans found in the Mazon Creek deposit. They average around 2 centimeters or less in body length. At the time Hesslerella was described (Schram 1970), it was the earliest known isopod in the fossil record.
