2.7" Mississippian Mantis Shrimp - Bear Gulch, Montana
This is a 2.7" long mantis shrimp (Daidal (Tyrannophontes) acanthocerus) fossil collected from the Bear Gulch Limestone member of the Heath Formation of Fergus County, Montana.
Comes with an acrylic display stand.
T. acanthocercus was named in 1998 and is known from several specimens found in the Bear Gulch Limestone of Montana, with the holotype being CM 34453. The specific name is combined from the Greek akanthos (meaning "thorn") and kerkos (meaning "tail"), in reference to the spines on the telson. In 2007, this species was moved to a separate genus, Daidal, of which it is the type species.
