This is an outstanding fossil crab. It is a large Goneplax saccoi from the Miocene of Italy. This crab was found in a very hard, dense concretion. Most of the concretion has been painstakingly removed to reveal this wonderful fossil. Preparation of a specimen like this is quite laborious, to say the least. The crab is 3-dimensionally preserved and exhibits great detail. The carapace, BOTH claws, and some of the legs are intact and beautifully displayed. The fossil has excellent color and contrast and is almost perfectly centered in the concretionary matrix. This is a wonderful fossil crab with the claws prepared free-standing.
