JamieLynn Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 ooohhh..nice on both accounts I know that in the Cretaceous of Texas lobsters have been found. Still could be a big honking crab claw. www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 That is a ghost shrimp claw, Mesostylus mortoni (used to be called Protocallianassa mortoni). It is big for the species. and quite nice in that both the minor and the major claws are present. Excellent find! Don 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
