No, really. These nearly perfect impressions are left behind on a nice sized piece of host rock (Matrix). These crab impressions are so well defined you can make out their bodies, legs and in some cases even their little pincers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis species of crab is called Pinnixa Galliheri. Fossils of \u003cem\u003ePinnixa galliheri\u003c\/em\u003e have been found in Miocene marine sediments in California. The species was first described in the early 20th century. As a member of the family Pinnidae, \u003cem\u003ePinnixa galliheri\u003c\/em\u003e likely had a hard, calcified exoskeleton typical of decapod crabs. Unlike some other crab species with elaborate shell ornamentation, \u003cem\u003ePinnixa galliheri\u003c\/em\u003e tends to have a relatively simple carapace. This may include subtle ridges or surface details, but it lacks the heavy ornamentation seen in some other crabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of 1 piece of Matrix:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 10cm x 6cm x 3cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of Fossil Impression: \u003c\/b\u003e2cm x 1cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 piece\u003c\/strong\u003e: 145g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
