Fossilised crab in a mudstone deposit
Fossil crab in a mudstone deposit. Crabs belong to the Decapoda order of the subphylum Crustacea. Crabs first appeared in the Jurassic period (195- 136 million years ago), making them the last of the crustacean groups to appear. Although rare in Jurassic deposits, crabs subsequently increased in numbers and diversity, and are still in full evolutionary development. Photograph of a fossil from Australia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fossilized crab preserved in a mudstone deposit. Belonging to the Decapoda order of the subphylum Crustacea, crabs are fascinating creatures that first emerged during the Jurassic period, approximately 195-136 million years ago. Interestingly, they were among the last groups of crustaceans to appear during this era. While fossils of crabs are relatively rare in Jurassic deposits, their numbers and diversity have significantly increased over time. This evolutionary development is still ongoing today, making them an intriguing subject for paleontologists and scientists alike. The photograph captures a stunning fossil from Australia, providing us with a glimpse into prehistoric life millions of years ago. The intricate details of the fossilized crab serve as a testament to its exceptional preservation within the mudstone deposit. As we delve deeper into our understanding of animal evolution and paleontology, these invaluable relics offer valuable insights into Earth's ancient past. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this mesmerizing image, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and scientific significance behind this extraordinary find.
