Discover a remarkably preserved piece of natural history with this authentic Fossil Freshwater Crab (Potamon sp.), unearthed from the world-renowned travertine deposits of the Denizli Basin in Southwest Turkey.
Dating back to the Pleistocene Epoch (approximately 400,000 years ago), these specimens are uniquely preserved within a white travertine matrix. Unlike most fossils found in shale or mudstone, these crabs were entombed by mineral-rich thermal waters, creating a stunning 3D outer cast that captures incredible anatomical detail—from the delicate legs to the texture of the carapace.
