About the Item

Fossilized lobster-like crustacean, likely from the Cretaceous period, preserving remarkable anatomical detail including both claws, segmented carapace, and textured exoskeleton. The specimen exhibits well-defined chelae with serrated inner edges and distinct surface patterning, offering an exceptional example of decapod preservation. Its compact size and morphology suggest it may belong to an extinct genus related to small lobsters or large marine crayfish, making it a scientifically valuable and visually striking paleontological display piece.
