Ive been through a bunch of crab concs lately and most of those are what I call 'problem' crabs. some are just pieces of junk as far as im concerned. I did get one really good one finished up for my son and I also finished up one 'sticky' crab that turned out really good for me. One for the collection. Anyways, I went though some more crab concs today and found what I think should be some purdy good crabs? Time will tell. Here are two pics of some crab concs ive got glued up. The 4 should be purdy good, but the two on the side I have really high hopes for! One crab, the bigger one is a Pulalius that has the tail end sticking out. The smaller one is an Orbitoplax that looks very good. That one, if it turns out nice is for my youngest son. My fingers are crossed. RB

My wife came into my office the other day and said "here is a crab you wanted me to put in a safe place" Wow!!! I was flabbergasted! This was 12 years ago. This is a very rare double crab in a concretion. These are Orbitoplax weaveri found in Oregon in the Looking Glass Formation and Eocene in age. Really really tuff to get a double crab! RB
