1" Miocene Pea Crab (Pinnixa) Fossil - California

This is an 8 million year old fossil "pea crab", Pinnixa galliheri from San Luis Obispo County, California. The orange coloration is due to iron oxide. This specimen is part of a relatively new find in the Monterey Formation which contains beautifully preserved crabs with complete leg and body preservation. This crab fossil is no exception!

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
