Than go looking for 30+million old fossils that is!!

Took the middle one back to the secret North Canterbury spot... it's been raining like mad lately - 2 nights before neighbours were getting flooded, we were joking about building an ark as I was digging a ditch to help drain water out of the house...

Anyway, knew the beach must have been churned up so we went for a wander..

I finally found a crab that might turn out nice... some crab pebbles, bone pebble and an interesting bone that may only be modern..

Gave it a wee nibble with the engraver...

Yep - definately a crab and should have the left pincer intact... WOO HOO!!! My best one so far.

And a winter project to boot, this will take months!
