This is a nice fossil crab Potamon carapace fossil from Turkey. This specimen has been preserved as a natural outer cast in its own “travertine cave”. It could be a molt fossil.
Travertine is a limestone that forms near mineral springs. These crabs were found when big blocks of travertine stone are cut and used as building materials. These fossils are estimated to be 300,000-400,000 years old and are from the Pleistocene.

Note: Actual colors of photos are NOT edited, but sometimes exposure or other camera settings are changed. I take pictures either outside in natural sunlight or in a light box, so colors may seem brighter or different from actuality
Note: The fossils are packed with extreme care, but if the fossil does break in transit somehow, I can only give any form of compensation if there is video proof of the full unboxing provided that shows the fossil was damaged right out of the box. Thank you.
