darktheumbreon Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 This was labeled to be a Carpopenaeus sp. shrimp from Lebanon. I had a sneaking suspicion that it may not actually be a shrimp, but perhaps a lobster because of what appears to be claws so I purchased it. I was looking for second opinions on this fossil and will try to update with a closer look when it comes in (shipping is overseas and will take a while though).

Rockwood Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Looks like a lobstah (how it's pronounced downeast) to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darktheumbreon Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Pretty sure you guys are correct, I was able to see the claws with enough detail in person to say its a lobster. Unfortunately I realized my camera can't magnify the fossil very well, and I have no magnification tools currently. My money would be on that its in the genus Eryma, perhaps its an Eryma cretacea.
