micropterus101 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Found some fresh dirt with fossil concretions full of Nautiloids and a few crabs popping out at me. The Concretions were all sizes. When I first got up to the area by way of steep deer trail I looked down and found A crab just lying there on top. I carefully levitated the Concretions down the steep slope to the rd below. The fruits of a couple hours work. Cant wait to get crackin.

Guest Cris Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Using "the force" always takes a lot of work out of it, huh? Looks like some weigh a pretty good amount. Can't wait to see what you find in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 The ability to move rocks with your own will... I'm impressed. Looks like some good stuff there I wish you happy cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had to start cracking tonight, looks like I got some good ones. fossil crabs website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkfoam Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I really like the way you levitated those concretions. JKFoam The Eocene is my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Cool crab.. I like hunting in uncollected sites, have hit places with nothing but eventually you strike fossil gold. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuko Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hrm... ~_~ The force is strong with this one. What a show of skill! Lol. I haven't had the pleasure of cracking concretions to find fossils before. Most of what I've seen are just exposed layers of limestone/shale with the fossils weathering out of them. I'd like to find fossiliferous concretions; it'd be like the paleontological equivalent of cracking open geodes (another activity I particularly enjoy)!

RJB Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ok, with Micropterus and me just about to fight over a concretion with our light sabors, and in my best darth vador voice,,, "Micropterus, I am your father"!!! Then he falls, I get the concretion, and all is good in the universe. HA!! But seriously, that is one impressive load of rocks man!!! Hopefully this late spring I will be able to do the same, but with cretaceous ammos from Montana. Good hunting man. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
