Fossil Crab (Galene granulifera) from Taiwan, Pliocene Period
Fossil Crab (Galene granulifera) from Taiwan, Pliocene Period

Fossil Crab (Galene granulifera) from Taiwan, Pliocene Period

Located in Los Angeles, CA

An exceptionally preserved fossil crab identified as Galene granulifera, dating to the Pliocene Epoch and originating from the uncommon fossil locality of Taiwan. Unlike many fossil crustacean specimens that are preserved in relief, this example has been expertly prepared and mounted in three dimensions, allowing full appreciation of the crab's natural form. The specimen displays all eight walking legs, both claws, and the complete carapace resting naturally on its original stone matrix. The detailed preservation highlights the distinctive anatomy of the species, including the textured shell surface, articulated limbs, and pincers. The natural stone matrix further enhances the presentation, creating a striking and scientifically significant display piece. Fossil crabs from Taiwan are encountered far less frequently than examples from more common fossil localities, making this specimen particularly desirable for collectors of fossils, natural history objects...

Antique, New and Vintage Natural Specimens

Natural specimens turn things found in nature, such as rocks, crystals and timber, into art. Sometimes these specimens are hand-carved into sculptures. Other times, antique, new and vintage natural specimens themselves are best displayed in their most untouched state. These pieces range from Victorian-era objects to modern-day designs and include everything from sculptures made from animal horns to works in wood, either as sculptures or merely imposing and provocative chunks of driftwood.

Natural specimens serve as compelling decor in any collection or home. Just as any curious decorative object, such as an ancient scientific instrument or taxidermy mount, will draw attention to your carefully curated home library or mantel, natural specimens can spark interesting discussions about life and art. Whether it’s a piece of ancient pottery formed from natural clay, plants sculpted from metal, sculptures of animals or antique stone, they grant a window into all of nature’s wonders.

Natural specimen sculptures can complement many aesthetics. A rare geode makes a stunning centerpiece in a study or living room. Crystals and rock crystal spheres carved in the 1970s add a sense of etherealness and quiet beauty to any space.

Whatever your taste, the selection of antique, new and vintage natural specimens on 1stDibs includes precisely the right piece for your space.
