This shows an animation of the progressive results of the preparation of a crab fossil in a concretion. The crab is Portunites and is about 25 to 30 million years old. It came from the Oligocene Lincoln Creek Formation in southwest Washington State. I used a Paleotools ME-9100 Series air scribe for the prep -- a Nikon Coolpix 995 camera -- a Harbortronix controler for the camera -- edited pictures in Photoshop Elements -- and built animation with QuickTime Pro.
