Jurassic shrimp? 🦐

Hey,

this is my very first contribution here.

I found something at a stone quarry in southern germany ("Schiefersteinbruch Kromer"), the area there contains fossils from 190 my ago, it was a tropical sea. There are lots of ammonites (should be Dactylioceras) in the same place.

 

The shape of what I found reminds me of a flat shrimp, but I could totally mistaken for sure.

Every hint or information on this would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

(Exact place is Ohmden, Baden-Württemberg, Germany)

I think this is part of a disintegrated fish head. I would ask Dr. Günter Schweigert in Stuttgart.

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
