Ash Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 He finished this one yesterday. Love the detail on the carapace. He says the crabs look better in person than the pictures show - well, I’m happy with how they look in the pics so should definitely be pleased when they arrive! 2 "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe" - Saint Augustine"Those who can not see past their own nose deserve our pity more than anything else."

Huntonia Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Wow these are so cool! Come to think of it I'm not sure I've seen any pieces with multiple crabs before these. Were these crabs social animals at all? Do we even know? It's certainly interesting seeing the social behaviors of trilobites I wonder if fossil crabs are documented with any similar behavior.
