Aeger tipularis- Shrimp
Jurassic
Solnhofen Limestone
Eichstadt
Germany

A beautifully preserved fossil shrimp of Aeger tipularis, a slender decapod crustacean best known from Jurassic marine deposits such as the Solnhofen limestone. This species is recognized for its elongated body and extremely fine anatomical preservation, often capturing delicate structures rarely fossilized in such detail. Even better, unlike virtually all Solnhofen fossils for sale today, this specimen has NOT been painted or enhanced.
