Location: Anatolia, Turkey
Age: Pleistocene period (~ 400.000 years ago).
Condition: no restoration

A tiny Potamon fossil crab in an unusual postion, upside-down, preserved in travertine matrix from the Pleistocene epoch. It was discovered in Turkey, where mineral-rich springs deposited travertine around freshwater crabs, creating natural molds and preserving them for thousands of years.

Potamon is a freshwater crab still living in rivers and streams across Eurasia today. The travertine matrix provides a beautiful natural display, making each specimen a decorative piece.

Matrix size: 2.26" x 1.62" = 5,78 cm x 4,13 cm
