AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Museum-grade crab Zanthopsis dufourii from Spain. Claws are complete and detailed, still in their original position when the fossil was found, with the right one bigger than the left, as is usual for this crab. Carapace is 7.4 cm long. Distance between claws is 9 cm. On the left side one leg is still visible. It's not easy to find a crab like this with both claws complete and original. A lot of the time people find carapaces with claws damaged, so they put on it different claws, coming from different fossils. This fossil is 100% original, cleaned and placed back on its matrix.
