Kane Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Well done! You certainly have great luck for someone just coming out of the gate. You may as well ask hubby to build two shelves if you continue to stumble upon amazing finds at this rate! 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually, if you are like most of us you will need your walls lined with shelves and a room dedicated for them and the rest of your ever growing collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Great find Dee! @DeeMoji I had a crab concretion disappear on me this weekend. I was working on a VERY small crab and had just changed the filter on my dust collector. I set the little crab too close to the intake and it got sucked into my collector! Now, I have to open it up and fish it out of some seriously nasty trap water.

He had both claws and I saw some nice legs starting to show up on one side. Granted, the whole crab was only about 1" long. 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you run a bunch of clean water through before you free him from his orc guarded prison so it’s not so nasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water trap catches the rock dust before it gets to the main filter so it doesn’t clog up so quickly. It just gets dirtier and dirtier until I open it up and clean it out. It’s usually pretty funky at that point! It usually smells somewhere between wet dog and road kill... 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
