Beautiful crabs! Also, I like your dolphin vert. Got any other vertebrate fossils? The Pysht is a pretty important unit for early pinnipeds and odontocetes.

I have found a number of vertabrae, one possibly complete whale or dolphin (which a huge slide covered temporarily, some rib pieces, and the front half of a dolphin skull Otolithes forward with part of the snout worn off still in a concretion. still looking for who may have the back half lol Bill? Casey?

Outstanding.

There are places in Ohio and Florida where crystals form in side of shells, but thi is the first I've seen from here.
