This is an outstanding fossil crab. It is a large Longisorbus cuniculatus from the Cretaceous of Canada. This crab was found in a very hard, dense concretion. The concretion has been split open 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 most of the legs are intact and beautifully displayed. The fossil has excellent color and contrast and is well centered in the concretionary matrix. This is a very complete and impressive specimen of a fossil crab from British Columbia.
