caterpillar Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks for your comments. This crab comes from upper maastrichtian level in the southwest France. It has named in my honour because I've found the first specimen 20 years ago and gave it to the MNHN of Paris 7 http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I understand why that crab guy you talked about years ago moved from prepping crabs to bonsai trees. It's the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
