Fossilis Willis Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Finally finished up this pair of claws I believe belong to some species of Raninidae, though I'm far from certain. The concretion does contain at least some of the carapace, but it's in pretty bad shape. It seems to be badly crushed and poorly preserved. So I decided to leave that part alone for now and just prep out the claws, which were just starting to weather out of the front of the conc. Some day I hope to find a more complete specimen, but for now I'm pretty happy with this cool pair of claws. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
