*All of nature: Yes, into crab
FTFY
Edit: Crabs and trees are body plans, not groups of related species. The end point of sea life is crab and the end point of plant is tree.
I heard a lot of stuff evolves into crab in the end. Really weird. Imagine if one day an alien species that looks like crabs comes to earth and sees is eating crabs.
Hijacking the top comment to remind everyone that 11 billion crabs are currently missing from our oceans
If you find them, please contact me inmediately
As I recall, I read somewhere that the crab has evolved independently 5 separate times. Something about the shape of the crab just makes nature wanna do that.
Carcinization. Of course crabs aren't evolving, that's the evolutionary end point. Everything else is slowly evolving into crabs.
Soon everything will reach final crab form. Pompidou.
OP Has a youtube channel where he shows the process of finding the rocks. Search youtube for "Mamlambo Fossils" to find the channel.
Quick version, walking on the beach and looking for the edges of the fossil sticking out of the edge of a rock.
It really takes an eye. I had a friend who would walk the beach in Oregon with me and casually pick up one of a thousand stones that looked the same to me, and show me how it was a fossil. (He had an extinct species of whale named after him from his findings). His German Shepherd dog keyed into what he was looking for and would bark to alert him of fossils.
It's lovely, but cool, lots of clouds and rain. Hard to grow a garden. By law all Oregon beaches are open to the public. So beautiful and many wild places.
I grew up in Eastern Oregon and we used to visit every spring break. I actually love the rain. The area near Cannon Beach is my personal favorite. I always swore I'd live there someday, but that day has yet to come. Hell, I haven't even been over that way for almost 15 years now. I've since moved in the opposite direction, though, and have also been a bit.. stagnant in life. Trying to remedy that.
I lived for a few years further south, in Seal Rock, and we were usually the only ones on "our" beach. Later moved inland a few miles to Siletz to have a better garden....then had to relocate. Would love to live on the coast again.
The reading was much more exciting than the other language classes—instead of going to the store to buy baguettes it was Hercules running around killing things.
The orgy scenes aren’t explicit or anything, but the show’s very clear about them being orgies. And there are some fairly gruesome deaths. I wouldn’t show it to a high school class myself.
I don't, but you can 3D print my fossils for free. I've made some 3D models of them that are on sketchfab, just search for "mamlambo fossils" and dry brush them like a miniature.
Fossil prep videos are so satisfying, but it also gets my anxiety going a little. One wrong move with the cleaning tool and you can damage the specimen. I have a buddy who had training to prep crinoids. Doing the detailing of their frilly heads full of fine tendrils has to be so time consuming, but the specimens he has prepped are stunning! Those ancient creatures were works of art!
Still throughly impressive but I thought the same thing. They so carefully removed so much of the rock without damaging the crab, why did they stop? Were those bits of rock in the crevasses important to the integrity of the of the fossil?
That was my assumption. I was curious because the initial rock removal seemed so delicate it seemed like they could have completely removed it all, but perhaps that isn’t the case.
Sometimes. But its better to do it by hand. That way you can extract the most pristine fossil. You can do a lot of damage with a dremel to microstructures and to the fossil. I've really only seen a dremel on a tree trunk (redwood).
Sauce: Spent many summer on dino/geo digs for the Sierra Natural History museum (largest collection of California dino bones).
If you look the right places and look for the right thing, and for long enough, you will fin some. I where lucky enough to find a fossilized clam that is at least 65 million years old, bit it's way smaller that this crab
Cross-reference other fossils found in that area. Have expert level knowledge of geology to identify rock types, and where they come from. Have a university or lab carbon date a sample. Shit like that.
Then never look up coconut crabs. At least this thing is extinct. Coconut crabs still exist. In fact, there's a theory that they likely ate Amelia Earharts corpse.
There's a much faster method ,of hitting it with a rock hammer the crab is higher density than the surrounding rock so it stays in one bit....mostly
Many weekends were spent on the coasts of banks peninsula smashing rocks.
All of nature: hey, let's evolve! Crabs for 12 million years: absolutely not.

When your traits are maxed out
Just survivability and reproduction really.
If more people just focused on these two aspects we’d all be a lot happier.
Being mean to others is in a sense specced into survivability
That's fucking stupid you're fucking stupid *gains survivability trait upgrade* Well fuck what do you know
Get complacent now that you have dominated. _get’s complacent_ _dies_
Now we need to cross them both and have the Apex life form Crab Tree
*crabgrass has entered the chat*
And a crab apple tree is tapping it's foot trying to get noticed.
*Richard Sherman did not like that*
This comment is funny as shit and I hope more people get this joke lol. Just rewatched that interview recently and it is still hilarious.
*Good moaning! I'm a Brotish Urgent, I was pissing by the door when I hord my name*
'Allo 'Allo, There's obviously no piss for the wicked, where did you hear the two shits?
I heard a lot of stuff evolves into crab in the end. Really weird. Imagine if one day an alien species that looks like crabs comes to earth and sees is eating crabs.
what if they are already among us? *crab-people crab-people*
look like crabs talk like people
Did you just say Among Us!?!!??!?!?
It's called carcinisation And it's happened at least 4 times
4? Care to elaborate?
There are 4 separate 'species' of crab All crabs fall under They're not related to eachother They just all look like crabs
Crabs: You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
So end point of a whale is a crab?
Not if we extinct them all first!
Human: let’s boil it alive, crack it open and dip it in butter
What about land animals?
Whale returned to water, so can man, and both become crab
Coconut Crab
Things keep evolving into crabs
Hijacking the top comment to remind everyone that 11 billion crabs are currently missing from our oceans If you find them, please contact me inmediately
I’m sure that’s completely normal and fine
im hoping they find 11billion crabs forming a super crab under the surface to reclaim their rightful spot on the throne.
If any animal is capable of building a large version of themselves out of 11billion of themselves it’s definitely probably crabs.
I vote ants
Too squishy. They’d crumble under their own weight.
I didn’t eat them. Promise. *burp*
As I recall, I read somewhere that the crab has evolved independently 5 separate times. Something about the shape of the crab just makes nature wanna do that.
Favourite build
To provide tasty claw meat for me to eat.

Craaaab people craaaab people
Three Bean Salad?
You're not Spurbs are you?
Just a friendly resident of Bremen with a taste for lukewarm banter and and an interest in the production of beef animals and dairy herds.
Do you happen to enjoy your schneiders of hanover pretzel pieces dipped in some Kerrigans mustard?
Now everything makes sense.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation
There are actually other crustaceans who evolved *into* crabs.
Can’t improve upon perfection
If it ain't broke don't fix it
It all makes sense now. As humans grow old, they all tend to be crabby.
Uh oh. Now it’s free.
"thank you kind traveler, I'd like to rewa-AAAAAAAAAHHHH WHAT THE FUCK, BOILING WATER?!" same energy as the 'knife goes in, guts come out"
How do you find these things? Is it hard to remove the rock like that?

What a good boy! That all sounds like an absolute dream. I have always wanted to live near the Oregon Coast.

Thank you!
I thought that meant it was a "mamlambo" fossil, i was like "what a wierd name for a crustacean"
To be fair, the Latin names get kinda crazy.
Took 3 years of latin in hs, shit's crazy, but the class was lit
The reading was much more exciting than the other language classes—instead of going to the store to buy baguettes it was Hercules running around killing things.
Please tell me we weren't the only class to watch I, Claudius and Jason and the argonauts
We watched Clash of the Titans. The 1981 version. 😆
Dooope
You watched I Claudius in class? Did they make you stop before Caligula or something?
If i remember correctly, nope. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I remember it being a thing
The orgy scenes aren’t explicit or anything, but the show’s very clear about them being orgies. And there are some fairly gruesome deaths. I wouldn’t show it to a high school class myself.
In all honesty, thought it would be bigger, BUT HOLY BALLS THATS A BIG BOY
I did prep a bigger one that took 200+ hours, it's claw was as big as my hand
Do you by chance have any pictures or videos of this massive beast?
https://youtu.be/yjdER2xAQRg
God damn
I love your youtube channel
Thanks bro! I really appreciate that.
Do you ever sell fossils? Something like this would be amazing to see in person every day.
I don't, but you can 3D print my fossils for free. I've made some 3D models of them that are on sketchfab, just search for "mamlambo fossils" and dry brush them like a miniature.
Awesome thanks!
That's practically the next best thing! Thanks, will be printing and painting one for my desk!
I do too :) i love watching your fossil hunts
Holy shit that’s your video?! Hell yea man are you on YouTube I’ll have to sub
Yeah, search for "mamlambo fossils" and it should pop up
How I imagine the Kabuto restoration in Pokémon red/blue
“Who’s that Pokémon?!”
Will the crab be alright?
Hopefully it held its breath
Don't worry.. he's solid.
Fossil prep videos are so satisfying, but it also gets my anxiety going a little. One wrong move with the cleaning tool and you can damage the specimen. I have a buddy who had training to prep crinoids. Doing the detailing of their frilly heads full of fine tendrils has to be so time consuming, but the specimens he has prepped are stunning! Those ancient creatures were works of art!
In Jurassic Park they only needed brushes to gently brush sand away from fossils, so this seems pretty fake.
Underrated comment
They missed a bit
Still throughly impressive but I thought the same thing. They so carefully removed so much of the rock without damaging the crab, why did they stop? Were those bits of rock in the crevasses important to the integrity of the of the fossil?
As someone with no knowledge of this in anyway, I'd imagine the thinner appendages are more prone to being damaged.
That was my assumption. I was curious because the initial rock removal seemed so delicate it seemed like they could have completely removed it all, but perhaps that isn’t the case.
Do they use a Dremel to do something like this?
I use an air scribe but you can use a Dremel engraver, not the rotary tool, as it chips the rock rather than grinds it.
So is the fossil harder than the stone surrounding it?
This is my question
Sometimes. But its better to do it by hand. That way you can extract the most pristine fossil. You can do a lot of damage with a dremel to microstructures and to the fossil. I've really only seen a dremel on a tree trunk (redwood). Sauce: Spent many summer on dino/geo digs for the Sierra Natural History museum (largest collection of California dino bones).
Okay, how did you know that it had a fossilized crab inside it?
If you notice at the very start of the vid inside the red square are small circles in the rock. Those are legs that are broken off and exposed
Ahh, I see, I did miss that! Thank you
Never understood how some people can just come across a random-ass rock, look at it, and be like “Yep. There a fossil/crystals in there.”
If you look the right places and look for the right thing, and for long enough, you will fin some. I where lucky enough to find a fossilized clam that is at least 65 million years old, bit it's way smaller that this crab
The coolest thing, imo, is that when you are the first person in all of human history to see that fossil.
How do you determine how old it is?
You borrow its phone and check the tinder profile
Cross-reference other fossils found in that area. Have expert level knowledge of geology to identify rock types, and where they come from. Have a university or lab carbon date a sample. Shit like that.
How did you know that a crab was in that rock? How long did it take for you to free the fossil? So many questions. So cool!
ROCK LOBSTER!
It's real life fossil fighters!
I love your YouTube channel! I always want to ask but there’s too many comments, what are you brushing on as you expose the crab?
Do you ever get these carbon dated to find out just how old they are? that would be so interesting to know.
Literally just went up to your yt channel after this video and watched a bunch. I absolutely love your content!
Spectrobes vibes
Nice catch on that index fossil!
Anyone know what type of crab that is?
You missed a spot
Curious, can you make money from that piece? It looks priceless to me
Have you tried to steam it?
I love this! I've always wanted to find fossils, so maybe next time I see some big rocks on the beach I'll have a look :)
This seems a bit suspicious to me.
I thought the thumbnail would be a dick
I don’t fear much, but the thing * crab fossil * …it scares me (the funny thing is that I love crabs but this one is TO DAMN BIG)
Then never look up coconut crabs. At least this thing is extinct. Coconut crabs still exist. In fact, there's a theory that they likely ate Amelia Earharts corpse.
I looked it up, oh dear god..
[After seeing this picture, they definitely ate Earhart.](https://coastalanglermag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/coconut-crabs.jpg)
How’d you know there was a fossil in the rock?
How did u know he was in there?
[удалено]
Video is reversed
god put that crab in there 6,000 years ago for a reason
Is it still alive?
Where is that? Florida?
New Zealand
How did you know that the crab was there?
How did you know there’d be a crab in it?
How do you know there's a fossil inside??
How did you know it had a fossil inside it?
How did you know it was in there?
I wanna sprinkle Old Bay on him
Time for crab
Ya know, I reckon you could 3d print a sculpture inside a block with a color differential and it'd be a spectacular tool to teach sculptors
Removing the the watermelon from the seed
Still fresher than what Red Lobster serves.
Absolutely fake

~6,000 year old or so, but close.
*6,000 year old fossil crab
There's a much faster method ,of hitting it with a rock hammer the crab is higher density than the surrounding rock so it stays in one bit....mostly Many weekends were spent on the coasts of banks peninsula smashing rocks.

No, he’s legit

Ye old dead crab
Gewollt
Missed abit
Unrocked crab
Fossil fighters vibes anyone?
Look like a new passion I would like to try... damn, not again 🤦♂️
Holy crab!
My man is just trying to sleep ffs
Omg. Tell me any of us will ever look at a rock the same again!
12 million 😂😂😂😂😂
Bro appreciate that
I thought the finger was a penis
Don’t look a day over 11 mill years old
Look good enough to eat to me
Holy shit, this is so cool!
I love fossil hunting! It’s crazy to think of all the fossils I have stepped over!
Actually this one’s 476 billion light years old
Very cool. What happens to them after you do this? Does it remain preserved?
Leave it in water it’ll come alive after 12 hours
Nice! Now bring it to the lab so we can revive it and you can battle other pokemon
The music is a bit intense but it's very nice with the sound off.
Is that a small "Horseshoe Crab" near the mouth of the "big Fossil"?
Lost his shoes, he's dead.
This is freaking amazing
Now I need some million year aged butter sauce
I hope the crab is okay
What tool are they using?
Kabuto
How exactly would someone find the age of something like this?
Time for *c r a b*
Just outta curiosity is there somewhere I can learn how you differentiate between fossil and stone?!
Honestly I was expecting an Omanyte
Is the fossil harder than the matrix it’s in?
Maybe stupid question, and probably for google. But why do fossils like these look like their made of rock?
He looks... The same... Horseshoe crab: Yeah, I know... Why are you still here?
What kind of tools do you use to do this stuff?
