Product description

Eryon arctiformis is an extinct genus of decapod crustacean dating from the Late Jurassic, discovered in the famous Eicstatt, Solnhoffen limestone formation, in Germany. It dates from 199m to 145m years ago.
 
They normally grew to around 10cms (3.9") in length, and would have fed on particulates found on the sea bottom.

It has been preserved lying on its back, showing the underneath of the body.
 
The preservation of its body & pincers is second to none.
