RJB Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I bought this lobster concretion from a guy right here in Helena at the rock and jem show. Took me about 3 years to get this finished cause of the problems I ran into. I would get frustrated and put it aside for some months and then go on the attack again, run into another problem and toss aside. Anyways, after my son picked it up not too long ago and seeing how he thought it was super cool, It renewed my interest and I finished it up. This is Hoploparia from the Bear Paw Formation.

Ptychodus04 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ron, you’re slacking. I only see one lobster and your post indicates 2. Did the other go AWOL? If so, I hope it finds its way to Texas.
