This listing features an authentic fossil shrimp, Carpopenaeus septemspinatus, from the world-renowned Late Cenomanian Sannine Limestone of Haquel, Lebanon, one of the most important Lagerstätten for exceptionally preserved Cretaceous marine life.
Carpopenaeus is a highly sought-after genus of fossil decapod crustaceans, appreciated for its clear anatomical preservation, including carapace details, appendages, and spines. Carpopenaeus septemspinatus is distinguished by its characteristic spination and elegant body proportions.
The shrimp measures approximately 4 cm and is preserved on a well-proportioned slab measuring 9.5 × 5.5 × 1.5 cm. The specimen is completely original and unrestored, retaining natural surface detail and authentic Cenomanian preservation without artificial enhancement.
An excellent collector-grade fossil crustacean, ideal for museum-quality collections, educational displays, or advanced private collectors with a focus on Lebanese fossil Lagerstätten and Cretaceous arthropods.
