Yet Another Fossil Lobster

Pretty amazing!

Do you know the species? What is the age and geology of the site from which it came?

You mixed up the genus and species. Palaeonephrops browni and Hoploparia bearpawensis are each described in this excellent paper:

 

Feldmann, R.M., Bishop, G.A., & Kammer, T.W. (1977)

Macrurous decapods from the Bearpaw Shale (Cretaceous: Campanian) of northeastern Montana.

Journal of Paleontology, 51(6):1161-1180

Scott, I'm really starting to wonder if you've got a photographic memory as well as an incredible library.

This is but one of his super powers :)

Sorry folks. I wasn't quite sure of Genus or species, I just like to find and prep and put little effort into all the scientific stuff.
