Ceratiocaris papilio

Silurian, Scotland

110mm complete phyllocarid on 170mm slab. Usually called a "pod shrimp" in the UK, these creatures are not shrimp at all. In fact, they are one of the only groups of arthropods known from the Cambrian that is still alive today. This nice, big slab is one of the best Silurian arthropods we have seen in many years. Great display.
