Pair of Fossil Crabs. Archaeoperyon puruvianus was a 25 million year old fossil crab from Argentina. What makes this fossil special is that there are two large crabs the largest being 8 inches and the smaller one 6.5 inches long side by side as found in their original 14.5 x 5 inch stone matrix. Both crabs have complete carapaces and large claws with only the ends of some of the legs missing. There was a crack in the matrix that has been repaired but it does not affect the fossils. It is very unusual to find two crabs together in the same matrix and this makes for an impressive display.
