I am somewhat baffled by the following. Thanks in advance for your help!

10 Animal to which chromium's added in research facility (4,4) : ?A?D?R?B ( LAND CRAB )
26 Perhaps cheekily show second leg (4) : M??? ( MOON )
28 Not terribly impressive - and missing from a theme word ( 4 ) : ?O?O

Neveracrossword

26 Yes, Moon, cheekily show (your buttocks!) Mo, second, brief bit of time and On, leg, cricket term.

Neveracrossword

28 Soso, not terribly impressive. If there had been an 'and' in between the two 'so's, it could have been a theme word, a generalisation. (Well, something like that! I just stuck my answer in.)

Neveracrossword

10 Yes, Land Crab, animal. Lab, And and Cr, Chromium.

L and Cr Ab.

Thanks, NACW, I got thrown off by 28a, thinking of so-so/so so. Grateful for the impeccable parsing!

Matakari, glad I could help. I found this quite a strange puzzle, I was relieved when I got it finished and out of the way!
