Unknown Fossil Shrimp

Hi everyone, I just got this Enchelion montium Eel fossil in today, and I was wondering if you could help me ID the shrimp on the back. I'm assuming it's a Carpopenaeus, but I'm not sure. There's also an odd fin-like structure near the shrimp, if anyone has any ideas as to what it belongs to (if it even belongs to anything, that is), I'd greatly appreciate it. :)

I think they are Carpopenaeus shrimps.

I see parts of 3 others on the left side.

Is one of those parts the last image? Because after looking at it again, it almost looks like a huge shrimp head :headscratch:
