Just looking at this one again - I picked ip up because the nipper was much more elongated than usual. Any ideas on other paddle crabs it could have been?

fiestykakapoDescription
Found under a rock in the tidal zone
So far I haven't been able to find a match for this. I think I can rule out Jaxea, and super-amily Alpheoidea
I think maybe Calocarides

Sharpnose Sharks (Genus Rhizoprionodon)Observer
thomas_stolbergerDescription
Lower Miocene (21 Ma), fossil. 6-8 mm wide at root.
Initial thoughts are Rhizoprionodon. However, I cannot find any reference to the genus in New Zealand fossil beds following a sweep through relevant literature. Maybe a different kind of Requiem Shark? Or an uncommon/new record of Rhizoprionodon in the local fossil record .
