Fossil record
Fossils of Homarus hakelensis
These lobsters are related to the modern-day lobsters. They lived in warm, shallow seas during the Cenomanian period (93.9–100.5 m.y.a.). Fossils have been found at fossil sites in Hjoula and Mayfouq Lebanon.[1][2]
Description
Homarus hakelensis could reach a length of about 95 millimetres (3.7 in), with 85 millimetres (3.3 in) antennae. [3]
gollark: There are some things which I think probably should be automated but aren't, though, and I think that's mostly just because some people want there to be humans around for whatever reason and pressure to "preserve jobs".
gollark: Oops, I said knowledge work twice.
gollark: In some cases it's probably possible but it would have drawbacks or isn't cost-effective yet.
gollark: Examples of hard to automate things: social interaction, anything where people are expected to be able to deal with weird unexpected situations and handle them properly, knowledge work things, anything where you need lots of mobility, complex knowledge work.
gollark: Automation of things *is* occurring, but there are many tasks for which it isn't practical right now.
