Description
FINE FOSSIL CRAB
Xanthopsis dufourii
Eocene
Huesca, Spain
This is a first-class example of preparation and preservation of the delicate form of a 50 million-year-old crab, from the unusual locality of Huesca in northern Spain. Prepared entirely free of the matrix, it raises one of its slender, curving legs alongside the massive forearms with blackened claws. The shell itself is beautifully patinated in finely textured shades of brown, orange and pale cream, and the whole superb specimen measures 4 1/4 inches wide, atop a green-tinged rock matrix base.
