jpc Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Looks like you've got one just underneath the missing claw.... Is that a second crab in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Yes there is a second crab you can see it when you blow up the picture. And in the other 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Dustin, that crab doesn't look like the regular Washington nodule crabs we are used to seeing. Where is it from? I would think if someone did happen to have a spare claw laying about ( miracle in itself ), you would be hard pressed to have it match that yellow color of the rest your crab.

I believe they all have a yellow color to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Yeah, that crab looks to be from Italy. Cant those anymore. Ive got one or two of these someplace? Finding them would be a nightmare. Just keep looking, you never know what or when one will show up? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil-Hound Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 @DLB it looks pretty good where it's at. Nothing in life is really ever perfect. I think this Italian crab looks crab-tacular! Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 This is a Portunus monspeliensis (A. Milne-Edwards, 1860). granulatus is an unvalid synonymous. 1 http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
