I don’t post on this forum and much as I probably should so here’s to changing that. Had quite the eventful afternoon hear in the Dallas area in the Eagle Ford. Found the most crabs I have ever found in my life, no ID on any of these but feel free to give me your thoughts. This was the first find of the day and got me stoked for what else I might be laying around this sight. Within 5ft of the first find I found another decapod. This was when I realized what I was in for, Crabapaloza! These next two were found within 2ft of each other. The next surprise was this assortment of fish bone, this is my first time finding any bone at this location and is currently the oldest bony material in my possession. Along with the visible fish bone was another vertebra not pictured and what I believe to be a small lobster or shrimp barely visible. A reoccurring theme, this carapace was found not to far from the fish bones as well For about 20-30ft of the exposure there wasn’t much, but again, I found more crab, center of palm, along with a gastropod shell and two pieces of ammonite, in this shape I typically don’t collect them but are a good example of the shape most ammonites and baculites are in. At this point things started to slow down, but again, another decapod. And again not to far from the last fossils, another crab and a decent ammonite, for the area, within 3ft of each other. And yet another decapod for the bag And at last, on my way back and on the way out, I gave a quick look behind where I inserted into the exposure and to my surprise, one last crab, including parts of its legs. I don’t get to this site too often, as it’s quite out of the way for me, (and is wishy-washy in its production rate) so when I do go, I make the most out of it - and today I can’t say I’m displeased at all.

Crab preparation (How to fill cracks to apply paraloid?)
pochoclo666 posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
Hello everyone ! I have stored these crabs a couple of years ago, while storing them they cracked (I suppose it is due to the internal humidity, they were found on a sea coast). I have the paraloid to apply them, but there are these cracks that I have to fill somehow so the paraloid doesn't leak. What material do you suggest as filling? And please know what percentage of acetone and paraloid is in the mixture? Thank you all ! greetings ! ps: the material that covers the crabs is hard sand EDIT: The reality is that I don't have much of an idea of how to prepare them, I was thinking of applying a layer of paraloid on one side, also filling in the cracks on something (the one where the broken crab can be seen, the place where it was exposed) and working on it on the other side.

Microfossil found at the Clark Quarry in coastal GA, USA 0.5 cm width across Was thinking it could be some kind of crab cuticle but did not have any comparative material and can’t find any. Thoughts as to what it might be and possible species?
