Description from the seller
This is a tadple shrimp specimen without any restoration. This tadpole shrimp has retained excellent details on its eyes and appendes, an museum specimen.
Slab size: 140mm x 130mm x 10mm
The order Notostraca, containing the single family Triopsidae, is a group of crustaceans known as tadpole shrimp[1] or shield shrimp.[2] The two genera, Triops and Lepidurus, are considered living fossils, with similar forms having existed since the end of the Devonian, around 360 million years ago. They have a broad, flat carapace, which conceals the head and bears a single pair of compound eyes. The abdomen is long, appears to be segmented and bears numerous pairs of flattened legs.
