RJB Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 High praise indeed, coming from Dr. Prepper! Yeah. But just look at those little crabs he has with the pincers exposed! Thats talent indeed!!! Ive only done that maybe a handful of times. Very difficult on small crabs! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroMike Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 WOW! I am simply amazed at the time and talent that it takes to prepare these crabs. I sure hope to some day add one to my small but growing fossil collection. Thank you for sharing Axel, have a great day! WIMMERN! Ich werde einfach zu der Zeit und Talent überrascht, dem es nimmt, um diese Krabben vorzubereiten. Fügen sichere Hoffnung I zu eines Tages ein meiner kleinen aber wachsenden versteinerten Ansammlung hinzu. Danke für das Teilen von Axel, haben Sie einen großen Tag!

Eureka Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi, Lybyman! First of all, I must congratulate your great work on prepping!!!! You got the skills!!!! Please, do us a favour: let us see what kind of tools do you use for your outstanding fossil prep. PD: why do you break the nodule in several pieces and after you prep the crab? is it not easier if you see some clues that nodule contains a crab, just begin working on ? Best cheers, Eureka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
