description |
|
This Crab was found on the beach on the Isle of Sheppey in a small phosphatic nodule. After very careful preparation using air abrasive techniques, we have revealed this fine and matrix free Crab. The specimen has a fine carapace, both claws and underbelly preserved as well as some ot its legs. This is very rare preservation. Crabs of this quality are very seldom seen for open sale, they simply don't get any better. |
