Crab Claw from Peace River???


Calvin Jenkins

Recommended Posts

Found something else today in the River I can't ID.  It sort of looks like a Crab Chelae from what I've found on the internet.  It is hollow, it is a three sided pyramid shape with on side being nearly planar, and it is covered in "pimples".

 

All guidance appreciated!

Your pictures are a bit dark, but i agree with your initial ID. Lightened and clearer shots would confirm it.

I can't get a good look at the surface features in the photo, but from what i can see I would suggest that you compare it with the claw of Petrochirus diogenes.
