Ruger9a Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Good evening folks. I have several crab caprice that all look like the same species to me. Can anyone tell me if I'm correct and what species they are. Sorry, no information other than "some of Grandpa's rocks" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruger9a Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Oh, I did forget something. The box they were in was marked Taiwan/China. Not sure if it matters but thought I should include it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked it out Dakoticancers on Wikipedia and found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avitelmessus The configuration of the shell and the photo of the crab look exactly like these. Thanks again.
