moahunt1 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi there Well I obviously cant get you as excited about these as the recent post by northstar on cretaceous vertebrates lol but thought you might want to see my pliocene fossil crabs and bits from Motunau that i collected on monday I took a mate out who hadnt been fossil hunting before. I gave him some nice specimens as thats what you do when you take someone out. but i did have to keep the unusual stuff. I only kept one spider crab I came across at least 5 cancer crabs here are the best two crab claws which I havenr seen before whale vert weird bubbly thing crab carapace? (when I say weird it means its not in any books or publications that i know if and i have pretty much all of them on my sites, it could be a sponge? ?????

Cris Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 As always, nice stuff. Glad to see the NZ hunting is still good. No idea on the bubbly thing...but I'm not too good with the inverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Mud Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Could the "bubbly thing" be an echinoderm - sea urchin of some sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
