Ruger9a Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hi, Attached are photos of a small 5.5cm lobster I finished prepping. The original semi-prepped lump I purchased was identified as Shrimp or Crayfish, Cretaceous Period, from England. My research identifies it as a Meyeria Lobster from the "lobster beds" of the Greensand Formation, Fissicostatus Zone, Atherfield on the Isle of Wight, England. Does anyone have additional or corrected information? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruger9a Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Oilshale, Thanks for the additional information. At least I know I'm on the right track and it helps fill in some of the blanks. Ludwigia, Thanks as well. I hate to admit it, but it took me about three months to complete. When my frustration level began to rise I would put it down and come back a few hours and sometimes days later. I paid particular attention to the eyes.....I was amazed to see them there.
