RJB Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I didnt know where to post this? Its not prepped. It was just found, but sadly, not by me. I just wanted to show this to folks. Too cool not too. If its in the wrong place, please move it. Thanks. My best buddy goes to England every year to metal detect. He met my other buddy, Al Lang, whilst on one of those trips and they became freinds. I was just sent these photos this morning. Really really cool. I only wish that I could prep something like this. Supposed to be 19 Eurypterids on it. Just Wow!!! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagurus Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 It took me a few seconds of looking at that slab to realize what I was seeing. That's incredible! Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Wow! Puts my one inch damaged eurypterid head to shame. That Lang quarry is not showing any sign of slowing down! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Im just glad that folks can enjoy this, but please remember, I did not find this. I was sent photos of this magnificent find from a friend. Hard to answer questions about it. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hey if your friend created an account on TFF and submitted it on Invertebrate Find of the Month (if he found this piece in September) I doubt there would be little contention for 1st place!

Lang's quarry has been mentioned many times on the forum, you must off been taking a nap during those posts. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

KimTexan Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Wow! That is awesome! I might have to take down a painting and hang that somehow, what a cool display piece it would make. Something like that needs to be in a museum so many can enjoy it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erose Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 They don’t come easy from what i have heard. He has to break up and dig out chunks of that hard stone. Then it has to weather for months before it will split. And it doesn’t split nice and flat. Lang asks top dollar for his specimens but the hours involved are high.
