MB Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Prepping unique crabs or beauiful ones, is a fantastic thing but very very stressant and tired activity, too much responsability sometimes... Thus, sometimes I preffer to take chunk of the North Pcific coast of America and be happy. Yes prepping those ones is a very pleasant activity, no surprises with a constant and noble behaviour of this stuff, just time to spend, I love it. http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 You guys have the coolest crabs! I'm jealous.

MB Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi, As far , late Pleistocene, but not sure at the moment,not very old but not so fresh to cook them yes could be Japan wait to see it finished, it's a hard work becuase the fossil is very delicate and the ciment very hard, but usually, the result is great http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
