Famiglia di Granchi Fossili Superba - Animale fossilizzato - Macrophtalmus sp. - 18.5 cm - 5 cm
An extraordinary fossil display featuring two Macrophthalmus sp. (ghost crabs), preserved together in remarkable detail. This pairing, interpreted as a mother and juvenile, offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of these ancient crustaceans.
Both specimens have been meticulously freed from their original hard clay nodule by hand, a painstaking process that reveals the delicate carapace textures and finely detailed limbs without leaving any trace of the surrounding matrix. The preservation quality is superb—each crab retains its natural form, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of careful, all-manual preparation.
This fossil pair is not only scientifically significant for understanding ancient coastal ecosystems, but it also holds strong aesthetic and symbolic appeal as a representation of parental bond and continuity of life.
