palaeopix Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) This specimen of a possibly new crab (galatheoid? or homolodromid?) from southern Vancouver Island has been sent, for study and description, to Torrey Nyborg at Loma Linda University in California. The specimen is to be donated to the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, BC. I will update the forum once I've heard back from Torrey on the status of the specimen. Torrey has also expressed interest in a number of other decapod crustaceans collected in association with this specimen. So those fossils may eventually make their way (two already have) to him for description and potential donation to the RBCM.

MB Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Possibly new, but I don't think homolodromioid, as already commented in other forums maybe a galatheoid? Nice find anyway http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
