Rare Museum Quality Fossil Crab, Tumidocarcinus gigateus, Miocene, New Zealand

Very good quality and detailed fossil crab (Tumidocarcinus gigateus) collected from Glen Afric Beach, New Zealand. This is a very rare specimen due to its detail, preservation and size. It has been very well prepared from its nodule to expose the claws, carapace, legs, eye sockets and more! It is one of the best ones we have had and up close the detail is amazing. It displays beautifully, a collectors item!
