RJB Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Ok you crustacean lovers. Here are some pics that not too many poeple know about. And if I remember correctly, the pics that come up first are last I think, so you may have to figure these out? A pic of one of my lobsters and also a picture of a closeup of the 'left bottom claw' showing some really aggresive 'teeth' like thingy's. How do you like my scientific lingo MB? Ha!!! And then a picture of one of the 8 legs that all had this 'little claw' at the tippy tips!! The really sad thing is, this specimen was in many many many pieces and I tossed it away thinking that I would find plenty more many years ago. Never to this day have I seen these 'claw ends' again in any of my lobsters! Almost gives me nightmares to this day!!!! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 , and that's all I got to say about that.

RJB Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Years ago I was at a garage sale. along with lots of household items, this guy was selling off all his fossils. I just happened to ask if he had anything in his basement. To my surprize, he had 10 boxes of lobster concretions!!! Im not sure how I didnt look excited, but my heart was beating 1000 beats per minute. And 5 dollars a box too!!! Anyways, even though they were indevidualy wrapped n news paper from 1972 and 1974, they were all in many many many pieces. Here is what one looked like when I put all the pieces onto my prep bench and what it looks like now. Enjoy RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 That's awesome.Where are they from and how old are they? Hey OMan. The guy was gettting old, thats why he was selling everything off. I do know they are cretaceaus, but not sure of the formation, Its either pierre shale or Bear Paw? One of the concretions was in two pieces and it was an ammonite of some kind. Stil have that one somewhere, but dont know how to prep it? Its chambers are hollow!!! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 sweet lobster there Rono dude! But I think the king crab I'm bringing for our first night camping will be even sweeter! King crab is soundin purt dang good fella, but also, while I was out shoppin, a couple of great big thick and juicy ribeye steaks accidently fell into my shopping cart. What on earth will we do with them? Im thinking over a fire along with my super famous baked taters with bacon, onion and fresh garlic inside the taters as they bake? Sounds good to me!!! Heh,, heh,,, Life sucks man!!! Ha!!! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ahhh, OK. They're actually the same unit - its just called the Pierre Shale east of MT and in Colorado, and the Bearpaw up in our neck of the woods. I hate how formation names change over arbitrary political boundaries... Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
