Here is an excellent fossil crab from Italy. This is Harpactocarcinus punctulatus from the Eocene. This crab is very 3-dimensionally preserved and exhibits fabulous detail. The fossil has been prepared in high relief so that the crab sits high above the matrix. Both pincers have been prepared in a free-standing manner. The carapace and both large claws are beautifully displayed. The fossil has nice color and contrast. The crab is wonderfully perched on the natural block of matrix. This is an exquisite fossil suitable for display in anyone's collection.
