Paleontologist Kirk Johnson and artist Ray Troll find fossils of marine animals inside concretions along the Olympic coast in Washington State. Johnson and Troll have teamed up with Seattle's Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture to co-curate the exhibition "Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway," on view from Dec. 19, 2009 to May 31, 2010. www.burkemuseum.org

  • Cool I do this as a very profitable side job. And for fun. Gotta love Washington

  • Which could be found in Kachemak Bay in the radiolarian churt?

  • very cool

  • Nice hat Ray! Cool video too. Hopefully I can make it back to Washington soon to hunt for concretions and visit the Burke -- maybe get to visit Lophomastix kellyi type specimen in its concretion... Regarding the concretions' shapes. Depends on the location -- some places it's the round ones, and other places you want other shapes. In many places the crabs tend to be in concretions somewhat shaped like a crab. See my time lapse crab prep video for an example. Thanks for the cool vids!

  • I have enjoyed all of the paleo-related vidoes that you guys have been uploading. Keep them coming. It has inspired me to try to make some videos of my own. Thanks.
