I've been going back and forth with this guy from New Zealand for many years now. His dad passed away awhile back so I was not bothering him and left him alone. He finally sent me an email to say hello and such and also sent me some photo's of his last fossil hunts. One of the photo's had a very unique crab concretion and I was immediately interested in it. We have made many many trades in the past and I made him an offer after a few pleasantries but sadly he didn't respond. So, I left him alone about that and didn't bring it up again. I was simply trying to give him his space. Anyways, my youngest son went over to Australia to visit my twin brother and then down to NZ to visit this friend of mine and so some fossil hunting. Yesterday he came over to show me all his fossil finds and then he hands me one and I instantly remember seeing this one and he says, 'this one is for you from your buddy". What a guy! I was so touched by this I almost instantly knew I was going to reciprocate. I wonder id he likes agatized Aturia? Nobody is this nice to me and gets away with it! This concretion is soooooo obviously a crab I knew it should be in my collection just the way it is. Just cooler than you know what to me! It has some damage to the left pincers but still cooler than you know what! and check out the size of that right claw!!! Massive!!!
