JohnJ Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 In a back and forth prehistoric battle, the CRAB WINS! Bruce's Pulalius vulgaris crab from the late Miocene or early Oligocene of WA, USA edged ahead of Terry Dactyl's beautiful Jurassic nautiloid / ammonite earlier today! Big Time Congratulations to Bruce on his find and excellent preparation! :bow: :bow: :bow: The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Congratys, Bruce. Y'oughta print up this page and hang it in your prep lab. Mybe this year, I'll be asking you for prep advice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks everyone , but once again JP, you're being modest. In my opinion, you are the master of microscopic preparation . . . (must be the sober, steady hand) If anyone has any help and suggestions—as to tools or equipment, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm basically learning-by-practice, working under 30 power magnification. I''m saving a crab that's the size of a dime, that I'm waiting to tackle – but I need some better tools.
