100 million years old Cretaceous Age.

This Carpopenaeus fossil shrimp originates from Lebanon's renowned Cretaceous deposits, dating back approximately 100 million years. The specimen is naturally embedded in a limestone matrix, preserving intricate details of the ancient crustacean's morphology with exceptional clarity. Unlike many fossils in the commercial market, this example has not undergone chemical enhancement or restoration, maintaining its original geological integrity. The fossil beds from which this specimen was extracted have been documented since antiquity—Herodotus himself referenced these deposits as "fish in the stones." The preservation quality allows for detailed observation of the shrimp's segmented body structure and appendages. Includes certificate of authenticity.
