RJB Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Ive actually posted the crab on the left before, but now it has been a bit cleaned up and sauced. The one on the right I just finished the other day. These two beauties are known as Pulalius vugaris, found in the Lincoln Creek Formation and are Eocene in age. I started about 4 more yesterday. Got tired and bored of the 'not so good' ones. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manticocerasman Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Holy crab, those are beautiful. (sorry for the lame wordplay ) growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It was so nice of them to die in a perfect displayable position for you. What sort of environment do you find your concretions in beach, river, hillside, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Mud Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) The big questions is though - do these make the cut for the crab fossil "A-list" and be given a ticket for your own collection They seem worthy!

RJB Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hey Triceratops, every crab is different. The red one on the left took almost 3 times longer than the dark one on the right. it was a bit 'sticky' and I had to go very slowely. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hey Doctor Mud, I will keep these for awhile, but with no tippy tippys they would be the first to go if and when I decided to sell them. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
