相簿列表 » 螃蟹 Crab

琥珀中的化石多是於樹林中活動的陸上生物，水棲性生物化石在琥珀中原本就很罕見，屬於軟甲綱的「螃蟹」更是其中的異數。目前只有在多明尼加共和國與墨西哥琥珀中有發現螃蟹的紀錄。或許是兩棲性的幼蟹不慎闖入了岸旁琥珀樹分泌的大量樹脂中，才會形成這樣的琥珀奇觀。
Amber fossils are mostly terrestrial organisms living in the forests. Aquatic fossil organisms are always very rare in amber. Crabs, belonging to Hapalonychia, are rarity in amber. Presently, crabs are only recorded in amber from Dominican Republic and Mexico. Perhaps they were amphibian crab larvae that accidentally burst into masses of resin secreted by amber trees along the shore, resulting in such a spectacular scene in amber.
