Hi Theresa, the crab from your 7/11 molt search report is a Dungeness crab. For Dungies, the 10th tooth is the carapace’s widest point, and for graceful crabs they are widest at their 9th marginal tooth. Here is a link to the molt search crab ID guide so you can see those two crabs side by side: https://wsg.washington.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Molt-Search-ID-Guide_v2.pdf Happy molt searching!
