Travertine crab from Turkey

[Blubby the blobfish]

Here's one of my really nice invert fossils. A little crab, almost perfectly preserved in a cave made of Travertine. Quality varies wildly with these, this isnt a super high quality one but ever since I saw one of these on an auction site I wanted one and this one was most affordable for me. Anyone else here own one of these? Lmk!

I've seen something like that before.  You might want to take the time to look through this thread:

Hi thanks for the reply. These crabs arent really that similar to mine I think, travertine crabs arent that rare and are a pretty cool way of preserving crab fossils because they have no matrix around them.
