A small shrimp

This amazing shrimp is from my quarry in the Green River Formation near Kemmerer Wyoming. This fossil was found in 2015.

Hello! Can you help me in understanding if this shrimp is a molt or an actual body fossil? What do I need to look for? And is the shrimp identifiable? On a separate note, is there any way to authenticate the signature on this Tully Monster, part of a package of supposedly Pit 11 fossils that I recently acquired?

2015 hunt in the the albian clay of Troyes (Champagne / france)
elcoincoin posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
In november, i had my yearly trip to Troyes area, a bit east of Paris. the hunt takes place on the banks of an artificial lake that has been created to avoid river flood in Paris. The banks can be covered either with silt or dead grass, so you got to look for free surfaces in order to find stuff. From one year to next, grass and slit move, therefore what you can find changes. This year was poor regarding shark teeth but rather good for the crustaceans. We mosstly found crabs carapaces : the usual Notopocorystes stokesii and Etyus Martini including that very fine sample : the less frequent : Cretacoranina broderipii and Eucorystes carteri I also found and that s my first ever, therefore my catch of the trip despite its very modest size : Sabellidromites scarabaea We also got lucky at he shrimp department with several hoplopora sp. Those are always crushed with the head apart from the body but there s sometimes nice details like the legs segments on this one. We also found a good quantity of indet. claws fragments like this one : And to finish with crustaceans we also got that one that get us puzzled for a while : goose barnacle article : Pycnolepas rigida More will follow later with ammonites and vertebrates mostly. You can see more specimen on the galery i dedicated to this trip here : Troyes - nov 2015 galery or on my flickr galery here : flickr of troyes 2015 -

Another Misidentified Fossil From An Internet Auction Site.
Fossildude19 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Found this one yesterday evening,... on a popular internet Auction site. Selling it as a "shrimp",.. but it is actually a Fish concretion from the Brazilian Santana Formation. It is a Rhacolepis buccalis, and a nice one, at that. It is presenting in the concretion in a ventral aspect, I believe. More prep might uncover the side of the fish, or the whole thing. Looks like it might be missing the lower lobe of the caudal fin, however. Definitely a chance to offer a bit lower, and get a decent fish fossil, that needs some prepping. I don't think they are exporting those fish anymore, either. I'd grab it in a minute, had I the extra cash on hand. Regards,

Hi all, I have an interesting coprolite from the Green River Fm, Wyoming. The overall size of the coprolite is approx. 1.5 mm x 38 mm long. It has a lot of inclusions, but no vertebrae. Looking at the inclusions, do you think they are from a shrimp or a fish?
-
Thanks for any help identifying this!
-
I believe this to be Essoidia epiceron - but I am not sure. Any thoughts?

Hi all. Here is a Solnhofen crustacean from Eichstätt, Bavaria, Germany, out of an old Victorian collection. Personally I believe this could be a Cancrinos or slipper lobster-like crustacean. But it could also be one of the more common Antrimpos shrimps. The most important part, the feelers are gone, so I can't be sure.

Poorly preserved shrimp? Do folks agree? There is a noticeable gut line.....my guess is lebotelson given the longish rostrum....any other thoughts? Evan

Hi Folks- I had my first self collected shrimp reveal itself yesterday. If I had to guess - I would say Acanthotelson stimpsoni. After finding 10+ molts...I was happy to find a complete specimen. Also - would you recommend cleaning it in vinegar/water wash? Thanks for taking a look. Evan shrimp - fossil.pdf

Show Us Your Mazon Shrimp (And Other Paleozoic Crustaceans)
Stocksdale posted a topic in Member Collections
Now that I found my first mazon shrimp, I've been starting to learn a little about these non-decapod shrimp-like crustaceans. Looking to learn more. Like how many legs did they have and how do they relate to modern shrimp. Post any info or pics of your Mazon shrimp finds and other paleozoic shrimplike crustaceans. Here's mine a bit cleaned up from the other day. Jack Wittry told me Friday night that he thought it was a peachocaris strongi.

'round my way (Late Cretaceous, NM), shrimp are scarce. I have been fortunate enough to find these little guys. Campanian Turonian I would love to see what shrimp others may be finding/collecting. Post your shrimp!

Attached is a nodule opened using the freeze/thaw technique from an Essex location known for aquatic life (jelly fish, clams, etc.). After reviewing this a number of times over a few months, it now looks to me like a crustacean fossil. When I look at it I see a shrimp facing the center of the picture (or the two nodules staring at each other ) - and a body with tail that wraps around the outer portion of the nodues. Do folks agree - or is my mind playing tricks on me?

Hi All, This is my first post to Fossil Forum and I'm quite excited about joining your community. I'm looking for a confirmation and possible identification of a specimen recently collected as part of a survey of fossils found in coal mine tailings in southern Indiana. I think this is the posterior half of a crustacean, possibly a shrimp of some kind. Hopefully, someone here can confirm or disprove. Thanks for your consideration! Best, John
