micropterus101 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hey guys Thank you for the support and compliments . Now I can cross this off my bucket list LOL. These crabs are so fun to prep and really for me its therapeutic. Hours of mindless rock removal, its nice not to think for awhile then when i first see the carapace the excitement will never go away then hours of meticuless rock removal to expose the rest of the crab for me it theres not anything much more relaxing the preparing fossils!

Malcolmt Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Congrats on a very nice find, I hope to at least prep one someday as it is unlikely I will ever get to a locale in which I could find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossiljim Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Very nice prep. Until reading your post above I had always thought of prep work as endless hours of tedium, but now I can understand how it can be meditative. I feel the same way about the time I spend staring through the microscope hunting microfossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
