Description
Impressive natural fossil association with 2 nicely preserved fossil Shrimps (Carpopenaeus sp) in a mass mortality plate.

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 restorations or repairs: their outline have simply been slightly excavated to make them stand out (highligh) from the natural matrix. A stabilizer has also been applied to its surface for better preservation. No color enhancement  have been applied.

Size of the biggest shrimp: 6,2cm
Size of the matrix: 7cm x 6,5cm x 1cm
