Carpilius sp. Crab Fossil – Eocene – Spain
A remarkably well-preserved fossil crab of the genus Carpilius, originating from an old Spanish collection. The specimen measures 3.6 × 3.2 × 1.3 cm and is beautifully displayed within its natural matrix.
The carapace retains excellent surface detail, with the original textures and natural convex form clearly visible. The fossil’s three-dimensional preservation enhances its aesthetic impact, making it an appealing piece for display as well as a scientifically valuable specimen.
This is a fine example of an Eocene decapod fossil, representing a genus still known today for its distinctive rounded carapace. Its provenance from an old Spanish collection adds further interest for collectors of rare and authentic material.
