Excellent Unprepared Orbitoplax Oregon Crab Fossil in Concretion

Description: In March and July of 2008 I had the unique privilege of purchasing two large lots from a most important collection. The collector had painstakingly accumulated a superb group of decapods, echinoderms and other fossils during a twenty-year period. The vast majority of the specimens came from self-collecting, academic resources, trading, and selected purchases. Very few of fossils came from the normal channels of trade shows and commercial internet resources. Any specimen presented under this introductory paragraph will generally be a superior collector grade fossil; be it of rarity, preservation, or, both.

This is excellent unprepared specimen of Orbitoplax. The Orbitoplax is quite nice in its present condition. Seven full to partial appendages are present, including both claws and pincers. It is priced at a little under fifty percent of what the rate would be for a fully prepared specimen. The specimen exhibits a tan and muted black color set off nicely against the light gray background concretion. It was discovered by cracking the concretion in which it was residing for so many millions of years.
