Jones1rocks Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hi all, Can someone tell me whether I'm looking at a shrimp that was in the process of molting? Thanks! ~Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFossils Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 What you have is the molted exoskeleton. Most likely Belotelson. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jones1rocks Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 So both of the seemingly two visible structures are of one exoskeleton, not two separate exoskeletons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
