I wish I had a picture book with all the washington crabs to make this easier. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB Hi RB, Panopeus purpureus it's an extant crab: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bestand:Panopeus_purpureus_(MNHN-IU-2014-10459)_002.jpeg I don't know where the name Panopeus purpureus came from for the fossil, perhaps from a wrong identification some time ago that has been dragging on over time. In any case, Panopeus prosakrolophos, the yours, was createed by Schweitzer (2000) https://bioone.org/journals/journal-of-crustacean-biology/volume-20/issue-4/0278-0372_2000_020_0715_TXCDBF_2.0.CO_2/TERTIARY-XANTHOIDEA-CRUSTACEA--DECAPODA--BRACHYURA-FROM-THE-WEST/10.1651/0278-0372(2000)020[0715:TXCDBF]2.0.CO;2.short 1 http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
