Beautiful horseshoe crab with exciting death trackway. The crab's final walk is forever preserved in this "moment in time". Crab measures 6 3/4" long and 3 1/4" wide, on matrix 38" wide x 33" tall and 3/4" thick. Trackway measures an amazing 34" long. Crab is fully inflated and is considered the "positive" side of the remains. A well defined "tail drag mark" is clearly seen at the termination of the trackway. This beautiful Solnhofen limestone slab records the life and death struggle of a lone crab in the shallow Jurassic sea. Wonderful exhibit fossil!
