Japanese boy found Jurassic crawfish fossil


I have read this report on japan's website. I think this article is very interesting and I should post it for education topics. At first, the fossil is one of the largest reported in the world because its rarely to discovers. Ayumu Tadano is 13 boy who was part of a group of amateur fossil collectors. He found it, it has measuring about 11.4 cm long and up to 2.1 cm wide. There have been reports such large species from the history period. However, to identify the species as other parts of the fossil which name is crawfish has not been found until this boy discovered it. The fossil will be kept stored at the Minamisoma Museum.
