Dr. Feldmann has just verified this specimen as Cretacoranin testacea.  Quote "It is not a lobster, it is a raninid crab, Cretacoranin testacea. I am attaching a paper in which it is illustrated. It is really a very nice specimen."  I will include the paper as soon as I can figure out how to upload it without exceeding my posting limit(?).  I would like to thank all the TFF members who participated in making this identification possible.  I hope the below photos will help anyone else who may have a specimen in need of identification.

Really is a nice specimen. 

Thank you.  Now I can move it to one of my main display cabinets.
