Description
Impressive natural and nicely preserved fossil Shrimp (Carpopenaeus sp). Coming from the famous Cretaceous outcrops of Lebanon. These fossil deposits were first mentioned by the Greek historian Herodotus where he said there were "fish in the stones".
It is a fairly good quality specimen. Regarding its restorations or repairs, its outline has simply been slightly excavated to make it stand out (highligh) from the natural matrix. A stabilizer has also been applied to its surface for better preservation. But there is no color enhancement or restoration.
Shrimp size: 5,79cm
Matrix size: 8,3cm x 6,82cm x 1cm
