first polychelid lobster from lower jurassic of NW-Germany

[rocket]

Long time ago we dug near Osnabrück (NW-Germany) in a small short-time pit called "Am Danebrock".

It was full of ammonites (Androgynoceras was the most common), we got rare vertebrate-parts from there, shells, snails and and and.

Fossils were preserved in nodules. One of these contained a lobster, it was the first one of this typus ever found in northern Germany.

I gave it to the Museum in Stuttgart and wrote with famous Günther Schweigert a small paper about it (I did the geological setting, what was only 5% of this paper)
