Dave pom Allen Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hello guys and gals, I dont want to tire you with repair or preparation techniques, but althought I'm overseas, I have experimented with the west pacific coast concretions, and when the fossils is for my own collection, I dont have any problem with the reparations or restaurations, here is one of them . it is so hard to work on the small ones without having to do some type of touch up, nice job. this pincer has had work done but some things are worth repairing. keep up the nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eureka Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Dear MB, Thanks a lot, and you are right, the specimen is upside down...... I did not reliase on that big mis-prepping. You learn day after day..... On the other hand, regarding to the Grapto, I am 100% agree with you...... Luckily, the museum whose county belongs the specimen, counts on several specimens 20 times much better than the one I have. Thanks again, Eureka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Hi people, yes, I know... so long without posting there but here we go Today I' have flu so I'm at home, and obviously I'm playing with the crabs and opening boxes and drawers... and take a look at this Periacanthus that I got from Italy Usually I thought that it wa a badly preserved Periacanthus horridus But you know, when you have flu you have more attention and I have noticed that the posterior margin of this crab havent the sharped spines that P.horridus have. I have prepped a little bit its back, and WOW, now I have a Periacanthus dallagoi Beschin, De angeli et. al. 2005 I'm very happy, I have at home the FOUR Periacanthus species known until this moment, so: P.horridus, P.dalloni, P.ramosus and P.dallagoi. You can compare it with the posterior margin of horridus. I'm glad Edited December 7, 2009 by MB http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
