This week, we have a Euproops sp. horseshoe crab from Indiana. This specimen comes from Daviess County, Indiana. The fossils date to the Pennsylvanian Period. This deposit is a little younger than the Mazon Creek fossil deposit at around 305 million year old. More information about Euproops sp. can be found in Mazon Monday #21.
This fossil is owned by ESCONI member Rich Holm.
