Fossil shrimp
Product description
A really outstanding fossil shrimp, Penaeus septenspinatus, from the Upper Cretaceous, Cenomanian, 95 million years old.
It was discovered at Mount Hakel, Lebanon.
They are found in the lower Cenomanian limestone deposits, at a depth of around 270metres below the surface. In life the environment of these creatures was a warm, shallow sea.
The current unrest in the area makes it far more difficult to obtain these fossils.
A fantastic display piece for the home or office.
The shrimp is as found and has not been enhanced in any way.
