This is a very distinct fossil arthropod from the Jurassic. It is an excellent Eryon arctiformes from the famous Solnhofen Limestone of Germany. This particular decapod was acquired from a major German collction. This type of arthropod has a distinct fan tail and long appendages that stretch out to the side of the body. These appendages are quite evident on this specimen. The head, body, and tail of the crustacean are well preserved - the antennae are also easily seen. The fossil has great natural color and contrast and is well showcased on the natural plate of dendritic limestone. This is a very displayable example of this classic Jurassic arthropod from a very old collection.
