Here's a cretaceous crab i found a couple years back. It's Homolopsis ethridgei.

Here it is as i found it:

And i gave it to a good friend to do the prep work for me..Here is how i got it back:

Best thing is, i still have 3 (at least one is Torynoma quadrata) more to get prepped and am going back this Christmas

Incredible prep on that aussie species. I'm amazed at the similarities between the preservation of the aussie crab compared to the US species like Zanthopsis sp.

Thanks, i was impressed with his handy work. Prior to this him and I had only done 3 Diprotodon optatum jaws i got last year in 2014 together (3 in 6 weeks, that was a good start to the year ).

I love finding concretions, never know whats going to be inside!

I'm nearly finished prepping a miocene sea lion humerus in concretion. Next job will be prepping a bowling ball size porpoise skull in concretion.
