t-tree Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Found this perfect Speeton Shrimp in the first 5 mins of my holiday ! then a new find for me is this Lobster which i need to put a name to yet both finds are from Speeton on the Yorkshire coast UK. Meyeria Ornata (Speeton Shrimp) Lobster and the Meyeria Ornata Cheers John Be happy while you're living for you're a long time dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 That shrimp is amazing, the preservation of the surface ornament is the best I think I've ever seen. I can't offer any suggestions on the lobster. Maybe a couple of views from different angles would help? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Gawd, that shrimp is stunning! Can you post more photos from other angles? I think that could win my vote for FOTM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I agree with Don & Carl, best Speeton shrimp I've seen, definitely a FOTM contender! Hoploparia dentata is a possibility for the lobster (though I wouldn't know what's diagnostic for it). Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Two fantastic specimens! And the Speeton shrimp has the best detail I've ever seen too! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Nice finds. Congratulations.
