Carpopenaeus longirrostris are an extinct species of shrimp, these particular specimens are so named due to the long rostrum, (spike) protruding from the front of its head. They were found in Hajoula in Lebanon in sublithographic limestone, a pale, beige coloured sedimentary rock, which is also known for exhibiting numerous other fine examples including fish and sharks. The actual shrimps are around 4 cm in length, varying from piece to piece slightly and are on the micritic matrix known as lagerstatten which is larger and detail the overall side plan of the animal with some finer details such as antenna also being visible. Dated to the late Cretaceous period, between 100 to 66 million years ago, the pieces are supplied in a card tray with an information label. They are ideal for early stage collectors or those with an interest in fossils but also for educational use as they can exhibit how some animals we see alive today have not changed their basic body plan compared to their ancestors millions of years ago.
