Callianopsis Shrimp Claw Fossil

Here is a fossil I profiled in August 2012. My cousin brought this back from Washington state and yesterday he prepped it. This picture shows a picture of it August and now January 2013.
We think this is a claw from a ghost or mud shrimp called Callianopsis. The fossil could be from the Lincoln Creek formation of the Oligocene epoch.

Thanks Kenny for the pictures!

Washington State Ghost Shrimp Fossil Claws

These two images are what I think are Callianopsis clallamensis shrimp fossil claws. They might also be referred to as ghost or mud shrimp. Fossils are from the Washington state area and could be from either the Lincoln Creek or Pysht formations. The date of the fossils is to the Oligocene epoch of the Paleogene Period. The fossils were acquired by my cousin in a trade of fossils from the Louisville Kentucky area on a recent visit to the area.
