Name: Archaeocarabus bowerbanki
Age: London Clay, Eocene
Location: Isle of Sheppey, Kent
Lobster fossils are rare on Sheppey, and even more rarely found whole. Quite often only the tail will be found. Sometimes more complete specimens are found, either laying on their side, or more infrequently at the base of a burrow. The most commonly found is Hoploparia gammaroides. Both immature and mature specimens can be found on the beach and on the foreshore. The burrows are a feature of the cliffs and the foreshore occuring in large numbers. Unfortunately the vast majority of them are empty. Some burrows extend for over a metre and can be seen exposed in the cliffs quite regularly.
ACTUAL AS SEEN:Â The image shows the EXACT unique specimen you will receive. Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device.
