Rob Russell Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 WOW! Congratulations on that killer crab find, Dan! That's an amazing piece! How common are fossilized crabs from texas? I'm assuming fairly rare. I'm not sure I've ever seen one. That's not saying much; but, hey. Congratulations all the same! Finding my way through life; one fossil at a time.

Uncle Siphuncle Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 thx rob. sometimes when you find a crab in texas, you can get multiples over time from the same site. but finding a producing site can be a "needle in a haystack" proposition. dakoticancer is a large crab for texas, and most that i find are recovered as legless carapaces. the most common crabs in tx are also cretaceous, and much smaller: notopocorystes from the upper britton fm of dallas, and xanthosia from the pawpaw fm of ft worth.
