Mazon Creek Shrimp With Appendage/Antenna Fossil

Description: This is a shrimp fossil in Francis Creek shale rock from the Mazon Creek fossil beds in Grundy County, Illinois. Mazon Creek fossils date back to the Pennsylvanian Period around 309 million years ago. This shrimp could be Acanthotelson, Peachocaris, Essoidia, or? The shrimp is preserved as seen from the top. The smaller tube that is next to the fossil looks like it may be part of the original body as an appendage or antenna, and the stone between that part and the rest of the body didn't remain in place/preserve. The double concretion rock nodule measures 2" x 1.375" x .75" thick (approximately) and weighs 2 oz. The shrimp measures .75" long and is in excellent condition.
