Recently Added Fossils

California “Pea Crabs” These crabs are found in the abundant shales of Monterey Bay in California. The layer they are found in is approximately 8 million Years Old. The crabs are preserved with incredible detail right down the shapes of the carapace, legs and even some of the pincer that are open. They are preserved in a rich orange color due to iron oxide compounds when they were first fossilized, and they sit on a cream-colored matrix.
