Linuparus eocenicus is extremely rare on Sheppey and only fragments have been found recently. It is differentuated from L. scyllariformis by the two spine like protrusions at the front of the carapace. In L. Scyllariformis these protrusions are parrallel and in L. eocenicus they are at a 40% angle. | |||||||||||||
