Here is a very rare Hoploparia sp. Fossil Lobster from the Bear Paw Shale Formation, Upper Cretaceous Age(65 million years old, North Central Montana. Not just that but from the collection of a known figure in the community.
This specimen came from the collection of Bruce L. Stinchcomb an author who has written and published many prominent well known fossil books for Schiffer books on fossils and other geo-collectables. This particular specimen is pictured in one of his books and has a label on the back written in the authors handwriting. At 85 he passed peacefully at home, Wednesday July 12, 2023. On Monday, two days before, he was doing what he loved, discovering fossils with friends and colleagues at Crowley’s Ridge.
Lobster specimens such as these and as rare as they are when they do appear typically range in the 1.5 - 2.6k price range, while this specimen has a unique story attached to it the condition of the concretion encasing this specimen keeps it on the bargain side for such a piece. Heres an opportunity you will not want to miss for the collector of unique fossils and especially those with more interesting attachments or names behind them.
Look at photos closely for size and condition.
