Fossil Crab (Turkey)

A Pleistocene age fossil crab.

Encased in white limestone formed by ancient mineral springs, this freshwater crab lived during the Pleistocene epoch, approximately 400,000 years ago. It has exquisite three-dimensional preservation and was uncovered during quarrying for travertine building stone.

The fossil comes with an acrylic display stand and a label featuring the specimen name, place it was found and age.
