Palinurus is a genus of spiny lobsters in the family Palinuridae, native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and western Indian Ocean. A 110-million-year-old fossil, recognisable as a member of the genus Palinurus, was discovered in a quarry in El Espinal in Mexico's Chiapas state in 1995 and named P. palaciosi.
The fossil record of spiny lobsters has been extended by the discovery in 1995 of a 110-million-year-old fossil near El Espiñal in Chiapas, Mexico. Workers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico have named the fossil Palinurus palaecosi , and report that it is closest to members of the genus Palinurus currently living off the coasts ...
Fossil of Palinurina longipes These species was rather small compared to the current lobsters, and the side generally did not exceed 5 centimeters in length (without antennae). The appearance was however very similar to today's forms, with a more or less rectangular carapace, an exoskeleton covered with small tubercles, very elongated antennae ...

Linuparus, the spear lobsters, is a genus of medium-sized to large spiny lobsters in the family Palinuridae.It contains four extant species found at depths of 30–500 m (100–1,640 ft) in the Indo-Pacific, and 32 fossil species, ranging from the Early Cretaceous to the Oligocene. [2]
[5] [6] The two fossil families contain a single genus each; [1] Tricarina is known from a single Cretaceous fossil, [7] while Cancrinos is known from the Jurassic and Cretaceous. [6] One estimate of the divergence between Achelata and its closest relatives places it at about 341 million years ago .
The fossil belongs to a young Azhdarchid pterosaur, also known as Cryodrakon boreas, with an estimated wingspan of 6.5 feet, according to the University of Reading.
