Rockaholic Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 It appears to be Palaeocaris typus based on the larger 6th thoracic segment. Looking forward to the assessment by RCFossils. Congrats on finding it! IMG1.jpg Thanks for the ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockaholic Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Beautiful shrimp It appears to me to be an acanthotelson stimpsoni. The tail has 3 prongs. Palaeocaris has rounded paddles I appreciate your insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D. Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Auspex, I gave them all away to a fellow who was making jewelry to make ends meet. My grandchildren got a few before I donated them. He wanted more but I only took a few from my last trip to Honeymoon Island in the last century. Joe D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squali Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Rockaholic that is an incredible shrimp. Do we know if that species was fresh or salt water related? The flora are amazing too! Thanks for posting. It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockaholic Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I wondered about the environment that this shrimp lived in also and here’s what I found. Acanthotelson stimpsoni is a shrimplike animal that lived in the ancient sea or brackish lagoonal waters adjacent to the sea which covered much of Indiana and Illinois. Rockaholic that is an incredible shrimp. Do we know if that species was fresh or salt water related? The flora are amazing too! Thanks for posting.

squali Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks I was thinking of the associated vegetation which really puts the ecosystem in perspective, It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators.
