Friday Crab Blogging

A (presumably) Jurassic crab found by our intrepid reporter from an underpass in Exmouth (Jurassic Coast themed mural by a local school)
















This little guy just got in from rowing a galley for Ben Hur ("Ramming speed, Hortator!".) (Ben Hur was written by Lew Wallace, an incredibly interesting man. He was Governor of the New Mexico territory when Billy the Kid was doing his thing.)

What I can't identify is the thing to the left of the Jurassic crab: is it a coprolite?

Never mind the thing next to the crab ... I'm fascinated by the Jurassic acrobat on the camera left edge of the picture! A Jurassic prefiguring of Pris (the Daryl Hannah character) in Blade Runner.
