Exposing a difficult crab fossil - 25 hours of work in 4 minutes of video

Patreon: for behind-the-scenes footage and bonus preps. This was a really tricky crab to prep and took more than double the time similar sized crabs have taken me because of the “stickiness“ of the crab. The rock wasn’t flaking off the crab and I had to use the stylus to scrape the rock away bit by bit. It took over 25 hours but turned out quite well and is very complete and the carapace is nicely inflated.
