Linuparus scyllariformis was another spiny lobster of the London Clay. It would have been a heavily armoured seabed animal with long antennae used for sensing its surroundings and for defence, while the walking legs carried it across the bottom in search of food.

Like living spiny lobsters it was probably an opportunistic feeder on small invertebrates and carrion. The coexistence of two Linuparus species shows that spiny lobsters were a well-established part of the early Eocene marine community.
