100 million years old Cretaceous Age.
Locked within stone for nearly 100 million years, this Carpopenaeus longirostris fossil shrimp preserves a delicate moment from the Cretaceous oceans. Its slender body and fine details remain visible within the surrounding limestone, offering a glimpse into ancient marine life that once flourished in shallow seas. Ancient writers such as Herodotus were already fascinated by these fossil-rich deposits, describing them poetically as “fish in the stones.”
Unlike many prepared fossils, this specimen has remained untouched, allowing its natural beauty to shine through. The result is an authentic fossil that combines scientific significance with striking visual appeal, making it a meaningful addition to any fossil or natural history collection.
