Fossildude19 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Where was this found? What are you stumped about?

trilobites_are_awesome Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 That is a crab. Cheers! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 It's obviously a crab, so like Fossildude I'm wondering what you are "stumped" about. Perhaps wondering if it is real, or how old, or what species? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Going by the tags I’m thinking the op is wondering if it’s real or not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Knowing where it was found would be a good first step towards figuring out if it is real.

Tidgy's Dad Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Does it seem like rock, crab shell or more like ceramic? Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 @MB would know. He doesn’t stop by very often but maybe we will get lucky. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Carved, typical from southern Asia, perhaps Vietnam or Thailand 2 http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
