SLIPPER LOBSTER



                             Age: 98 million years old

                             Location: Lebanon

                             Period: Cretaceous

                             The slipper lobster (family: Scyllaridae) is a slow-moving
                             crustacean, about 40-45 cm (15-18 in) long. Slipper lobsters
                             living today have the same characteristics that they had
                             millions of years ago. They have not undergone the
                             slightest change in the intervening millions of years. The
                             98-million-year-old slipper lobster fossil shown here
                             corroborates this fact.
