Carpopenaeus shrimps and fish 004

Discovered in the famed Sannine Formation of Lebanon, this piece dates back to the Cenomanian period, approximately 95 to 98 million years ago.

The visible side of the plate showcases a “duo” of Carpopenaeus shrimps, their delicate forms and long antennae beautifully preserved in the fine-grained limestone. The textual information also notes that the reverse side of the matrix contains two fish fossils, creating a diverse and unique assemblage of ancient marine life.
