Palibacus praecursor is a fossil species of slipper lobster, the only species in the genus Palibacus.[1] It was found in Cenomanian[2] (Cretaceous) deposits at Hakel, Lebanon and described in 1886 by the German palaeontologist W. Dames.[3] Its similarity to modern slipper lobsters demonstrates that the main features of that group had already evolved by the mid-Cretaceous.[4]
