Horseshoe Crab With Tracks
A trek across the Jurassic sea, this remarkable trackway ends with a well-preserved horseshoe crab in the gentle beiges of the distinctive Solnhofen limestone. These prehistoric, marine arthropods are actually not crabs, and more closely related to scorpions and spiders. Skillfully prepared in the delicate matrix, nearly 3 feet of this creature’s final journey are forever captured. Anchored by a custom ebony base, a piece of the dynamic, mysterious ancient sea suitable for the most discerning collector.
