DeeMoji Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 My husband went to our special place with out me!!! I don’t know any more about the bone in the comments, than this picture, he just text me these pictures and can’t talk right now because he’s driving. I’ll find out later I guess, it’s still cool. Anyone know what lived there that it may belong to?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeMoji Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 He said it was approximately a foot long. But it was so poorly preserved he left it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimTexan Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Nice crab. If he really wants the bone he can take a thin prep of cyanoacrylate and pour it all over it to stabilize it before he moves it. Then have foil there to move it to and wrap it and take it home. The bone could be almost anything. I believe it is a Cenozoic, Pleistocene period site, which is the age of when the mammoths and camels roamed the era.

Sorry the crab broke when he was unearthing him, the bone is still a mystery. Lol I’m sure it will be for ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The crab, and all the shells there would be Eocene. However there are Pleistocene vertebrates in the surficial sediments and in upstream outcrops and they could be redeposited anywhere along the river bank.

bone2stone Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Wow crabbies from that site are few and far between. Beautiful specimen. Shame it was not embedded in concretion. I have never found one from there, just shark teeth and gastropod material. Bone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been very lucky, I’ve never found shark teeth, lots of gastropods though. This one broke with my husbands shovel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
