3D Model of Most Complete Fossil Crab Ever Discovered
|
Cretapsara athanata, preserved in 100 million year old amber, is the oldest known modern-looking fossil crab. With gills preserved in tact, this specimen tells the story of how crabs made the transition from the water to terrestrial environments. Luque, J., Xing, L., Briggs, D.E.G., Clark, E.G., Duque, A., Hui, J., Mai, H., McKellar, R.C. 2021. Crabs in amber reveal an early colonization of freshwater during the Cretaceous.
