Raptor Lover Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Looks like a lobster or shrimp. Definitely not a scorpion "Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you" Job 12:8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Madagascar is indeed a paradise of a wide range of fossils. A trip worth taking just to see collecting areas and pick up a few gems like you did. Edited November 19, 2015 by Troodon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refused to buy two large eggs of æpyornis they offered me for $ 40 !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
