''Homarus morrisi'' is a species of fossil lobster from the Eocene of southern England England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Wales to its west and Scotland to its north. The Irish Sea lies northwest and the Celtic Sea to the southwest. It is separated from continental Europe b .... Taxonomy Specimens of ''H. morrisi'' were described as early as 1849, but were assigned to '' Hoploparia gammaroides'' rather than ''Homarus'' by scientists that included Frederick M'Coy and Thomas Bell (zoologist), Thomas Bell. In 1987, W. J. Quayle recognised that the material then ascribed to ''Hoploparia gammaroides'' represented two species, and described the new species ''Homarus morrisi'' for those that didn't match the description of ''Hoploparia gammaroides''. The specific name (zoology), specific epithet honours S. F. Morris of the Department of Palaeontology at the "British Museum (Natural History)" (now the Natural History Museum, Lo ...

Ypresian
In the geologic timescale the Ypresian is the oldest age (geology), age or lowest stage (stratigraphy), stratigraphic stage of the Eocene. It spans the time between , is preceded by the Thanetian Age (part of the Paleocene) and is followed by the Eocene Lutetian Age. The Ypresian is consistent with the lower Eocene. Events The Ypresian Age begins during the throes of the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). The Fur Formation in Denmark, the Messel shales in Germany, the Oise amber of France and Cambay amber of India are of this age. The Eocene Okanagan Highlands are an uplands subtropical to temperate series of lakes from the Ypresian. Stratigraphic definition The Ypresian Stage was introduced in scientific literature by Belgium, Belgian geologist André Hubert Dumont in 1850. The Ypresian is named after the Flanders, Flemish city of Ypres in Belgium (spelled ''Ieper'' in Dutch). The definitions of the original stage were totally different from the modern ones.
