pfegiz Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 11mm long. Found in Santa Barbara County, near Lake Cachuma, in the Monterey Formation (Miocene). It looks to me like an isopod. I've looked at online databases from the Natural History Museums of Santa Barbara and LA County, and searched the scientific literature, but could not find anything resembling it. I would be very grateful for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's nice to get an ID but it helps to know why it isn't something else even two years later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
