This is a very nice fossil crab. It is a distinct Pinnixa galliheri from California. This type is referred to as a ''pea crab''. The crab has very fine detail preserved - the legs and claws display beautifully. The crab is nicely showcased on the matrix plate that also has crab remains at the bottom of the plate. This is a wonderful fossil crab from the Golden State.
