RJB Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Im starting to run out of room in my crab display case so i put some on my desk. Quite nice for me. I do have two guys who want to buy a Tumido from me, but I have a really hard time letting these go. I seem to fall in love with them while prepping? And its really hard to get a really good Washington crab. I guess the collection will just keep on growing. I dont think i will have a problem with that. Life is good.

RJB Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 @xDiamondX, The two on the left where concretons I bought from New Zealand and prepped out. The little one on the right is a from Washington that I prepped out ventral. Ive been doing the crabs for 26 years now. My most favorite fossils.

Miocene_Mason Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Most fossil collection are akin to the hydra, you sell/trade one piece, you buy/find/prep another 4.

Pagurus Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Those are well-earned trophies, Ron. You have been out standing in your field. Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Looks like there is a lot of room for more crabs on that desk. Don't know why You think You are out of space. Nice first view You have.

Jeffrey P Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The specimens look like they belong there; an impressive display, though I wonder how you get any work done at that desk. I would spend all of my time staring at them. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 A nice view to wake up to! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I would say "lucky you" but I guess you worked hard for it... so... attaboy! I agree with ynot... If that were my place I think you'd see more fossils and other things cluttering that desk (though the quality/showiness might not be as great).

aplomado Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Awesome! I have a nice fossil fish mounted next to my computer monitor on the wall... not as spectacular as yours though! I think it is always better to have them somewhere you can see them all the time rather than tucked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
