Watch as a 12 million years old Crab Emerges from a Rock

Mamlambo Fossils is a New Zealand based amateur fossil hunter who is rather good at opening time capsules or rocks to the rest of us , here's 2.5 minutes time lapse of him fully extricating a 12 million year old crab from its rocky tomb.


If like me you find that cool there are many other cool find videos on Mamlambo's channel.

Not the fastest way to get crabs out of your rocks...but really cool.

Disappointed, but relieved.

I did not want to start off the new year with a Jurassic Crabdemic.

Reminds me of an old joke.

"This crab paste tastes horrible. Where'd you get it"?

"The pharmacy...."

LMAO.

I logged in just to laugh at that.

So, about that evolution.........

Speaking of fossils with crabs...anyone notice Bill Clinton at the awards ceremony the other day?

Probably sitting next to the other fossil with crabs - Nancy Peloci.
