Coco Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hi MB, I just finished to read all this topic, and your work is marvelous. All these nice crabs... And it is very interesting to see recent crabs near a fossil one to show the species. Congrats and have nice holidays !

JohnJ Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 As usual, well done MB! He resembles your avatar. What is the fossil preserved off to the side...bivalve? gastropod? The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have really enjoyed your posts. Attached are a couple examples of Avitelmessus grapsoides that I recently finished prepping. The preservation and prep work doesn't compare very well to your crabs and work, but one works with what one has. Take care. George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossisle Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Those Avit crabs always looked hard to prep,I can see the matrix adheres to the carapace,must take alot of patience Good work,nice to have all those legs sticking out!!

MOROPUS Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 wow! I'm am impressed! Those are awesome, but very strange looking. This kind of crab is still living in many parts of the world; it`s called box crab, sand box crab... This specimen is Calappa Granulata, from Mediterranean: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi, I am surprised that this crab lives in the Mediterranean Sea. I thought that it lives in the Filipinos and in the warm seas. I have a friend who collects recent crabs (less than 10 cm / 3.5"). I don't think she has this one, but she has another one from Philipinos. Nice genus.

Coco Hi Coco, the Calappa granulata is quite common in the Mediterranean, he lives between 30 and 150 m deep under the mud or sand and is commercially exploited. Found in fish stores. http://maxfossil.multiply.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Fossisle. The Avits. are difficult to prep and one never knows if the degree of preservation will hold up from end to end. Take care.

Hey Maxfossil, Appreciate the kind words. They are difficult to work with, but one of these days, I'll find one that has good preservation throughout. Take care and have a good day.
