Pair Of Fossil Crabs. Archaeoperyon puruvianus was a 25 million year old fossil crab from Argentina. What makes this fossil special is that there are two large crabs the largest being 8 inches and the smaller one 6½ inches long side by side as found in their original 14½ x 5" stone matrix. Both crabs have complete carapaces and large claws with shearing teeth-like projections lining the claws with only the ends of some of the legs missing. Minor repair to crack in matrix that in no way affects fossils. Very unusual to find two crabs together in the same matrix making for an impressive display. Comes with stand. $700 - 1,100
