I was a bit confused at first.  Had to reread the last couple of post.

Yes I think I took us off on a tangent from the world of fossil crabs. You were right to be confused! :D

Here is what it looks like from the ventral side.  It is small and not well-preserved, so I didn't prep much below the claws.  Both claws broke off in the process and it would have been hard to attach any other way then in their original position.

Thanks for the additional picture.

Not pyrite, it's sand rich in mica crystals, foraminifera and little pieces of shell. Very nice piece as always, I have a similar one, what's the size of your?

This one is only 45 mm carapace width, but they are bigger, usually.

Caterpillar ,that looks interesting. Do you think the crushing of the carapace is predation?

Very special!!

Cephalopods rule!!
