digit Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Interesting article. Thanks. Included in the article is a video link of a carrier crab (Dorippe frascone) which uses its modified pair of rear legs to grab onto various objects to act as protection and camouflage. In addition to broken pieces of shell or macroalgal clumps, these crabs will occasionally grab some formidable protective passengers (though likely unwilling) like urchins, anemones, or jellies. This reminded me of the carrier crabs I saw some years back in the Philippines dragging around Upside-down Jellyfish (Cassiopea andromeda). Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Ammonite Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Humans sort of do the same thing as Hermit Crabs. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Shamalama Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I can't imagine he gets good milage in that car with the kind of wind resistance all those decorations provide. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
