Linuparus eocenicus

Linuparus eocenicus is a rare species of lobster found rarely at a few London Clay sites such as Isle of Sheppey. It is often found as fragments due to how thin the carapace is.

Details of the Linuparus Genus

Linuparus, the spear lobsters, is a genus of medium-sized to large spiny lobsters in the family Palinuridae.

It contains four extant species found at depths of 30–500 m (100–1,640 ft) in the Indo-Pacific, and 32 fossil species, ranging from the Early Cretaceous to the Oligocene. L. trigonus is the only extant species also known from the fossil record.
