I forgot the photo.RB Yep, classic case of CRS disease if'n you ask me. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

mommabetts Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Ok, took the wife into town today, came back and built a door for the chicken coop, then went into the garage all nice and calm... It amazes me just how hard this rock is and just how soft the shell material is on these Arturias!!! And not only that, but the first one is crushed in places and the shell material is on different levels making for a very tuff prep job!!! But again, no cussing. So proud of myself to be turning into an adult finally? Ha!!!! Tomorrow I will do a bit more work on the chickin coop and then put in some more time on this conc. So far i like it. The one is complete with living chamber! RB You're gettin there, nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Put the whiskey down and finish the dang thing already! C'mon, I want to see it before I go to bed. I've never found an ammonite, I've never found a crab and I have to live vicariously through you. So, hurry up! If you believe everything you read, perhaps it's time for you to stop reading...

micropterus101 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I am following too Ron. Not what I expected in that rock I thought there would have been more. Looking Great though. BTW I was joking about the litospainia optiplex or whatever I called It lol it was a vulgaris that appears to have come from a locality I collect too lol. fossil crabs website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabetts Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Thought I would check and see if you had any more done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Ok, all done with this dam thing. Took alot longer than I had anticipated. I had to remove lots of rock cause they were not all on the same plane. Oh, also, I got a PM from a fellow about something else, but he gave me a compliment on this rock and said the scratches werent too bad. It hit me that the so called scratches he was seeing was between the different pieces of shell material from being crushed. No scratches of any kind on these. Well, there is one booboo... I can live with it. Anways, here it is as it looks now. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
