Can anyone tell what to use? a stablizer i use paleo bond. Some also use star Bond a little cheaper than paleobond works just as good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeMoji Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 @RJB the outside looks just like the outside of my crabby patty. Is it possible there’s like a shell, leaf, or some other fossil in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything is in it - I would think of crab. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

crabfossilsteve Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'll reiterate what has already been said...if this your first prep work, save this/these specimens for later so you can gain experience and not damge it. With regards to gluing, you could put a little thin super glue around the claw parts to stabilize them. For what its worth I do prep work also. If interested, I have done deals where in exchange for the work I would ask for specimen(s) for myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeMoji Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 @crabfossilsteve I won’t be prepping any of them myself. Thank you though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeMoji Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Also..... is there anything I can do by myself (that won’t dammag anything, IF there is even anything inside) to help determine if they are empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeon.rocks Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Cool finds! That exposed claw reminds me of Zanthopsis species, Eocene. ….text deleted by admin... Cheers, A. Quote Also..... is there anything I can do by myself (that won’t dammag anything, IF there is even anything inside) to help determine if they are empty? You can guess by the shape of the concs, but that's a guess only (perfectly round ones are usually empty or have smaller fossils or parts inside, concretions with a little oval shape - egg shape like - are a good sign for crabs)... Also, sometimes (cross section of) legs are visible on the sides of conc (small circles aligned, don't really have a good picture, but to give you an idea - see example of tumidcarcinus concretion below). You can also split them, but I would avoid splitting the good concs, since most break through the specimen and that imho destroys the specimen (even if you reglue the pieces). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
