Here is a fascinating and beautifully preserved example of a fossil freshwater crab (Potamon sp.) preserved in travertine from the Denizli Basin in Southwest Turkey. The crab itself is large at approximately 3 inched wide and exhibits very detailed museum quality , 3d preservation. It's preserved as a three-dimensional outer cast within a natural cavity in white travertine. Travertine is a type of limestone that forms around mineral springs. It is often quarried for use as a building material, and that is how these crabs were discovered. They are found when hollow voids are cut into while sawing blocks of travertine. The travertine deposits in the Denizli Basin are Pleistocene in age, having been formed within the past 400,000 years. Heres your opportunity at a magnificent example of this uniquely preserved fossil crab.
