Acantochirana cordata- Nice Shrimp , Solnhofen

Description

Solnhofen Shrimp
Acantochirana cordata
With Floating Crinoids
Jurassic – Solnhofen Limestone
Eichstatt, Bavaria, Germany
Here is a nice
Acantochirana cordata
shrimp, all natural, with great detail and no “artistic enhancement (aka. Paint)”.
The slab measures roughly 7.5 x 8 inches, the shrimp about 60 mm. Surface detail is excellent when viewed with a 10x lens. In addition the slab contains several small
Saccocoma sp.
floating crinoids which did not photograph well. The crinoids have not been prepared and appear as calcite centers with faint arms extending from them.
Payment must be received within 6 days of auction closing. I can combine shipments where it will not risk damage to the specimens. For combined shipments, please allow me to bill you to minimize transactions.
Priority mail is my preferred option for most pieces. The USPS supplies the boxes, the shipments are tracked, and the short handling time and rapid delivery are a big plus for customers. For some international shipments Priority can be quite expensive. In some cases First Class International makes more sense. If you are an international buyer, seriously interested in the item, contact me and I can estimate First Class options. For some very small items I will automatically package, First Class for all destinations, in a padded envelope with a secondary container inside. If that is the case I will already have reflected this in the expected shipping and handling. S&H includes a handling charge to cover costs above actual shipping.
Good Luck
