JohnJ Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 @MB Saw you mention this elsewhere online, Lance. It's a really nice find. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 That's pretty awesome! May be @caterpillar would have an idea what it is, though?

Ludwigia Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Sorry I can't help with id, but it sure is a nice find! Have you asked Rodney Feldmann? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi guys, Just checking the Frantescu (2013) paper and working the picture with Photoshop, I would say that it looks like Linuparus tarrantensis Davidson, 1963. 2 http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, thanks for taking the time to do all that. It definitely looks identical in your graphic. I have almost all the relevant scientific papers for Texas fossils but just didn't want to dig them out. I've taken a break from full time fossil hunting the past few years I've been doing more genealogy which is why I disappeared from the forum.
