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

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
