General Discussion (Public) / Re: Fossils in Mt Schank

Alright so apparently I'm correct in that the skeleton is very likely a freshwater Cray and likely several thousand years young
but
It's not a fossil 'YET' needs a bit more time before it can be called a Fossil.

Anyhoo
I like it, looks cool & well preserved may also be laying on top of another dead critter but this isn't as clear
perhaps he was eating the other critter when a rock fell on him
Who knows; We could make up any ol' story as he aint giving away anymore secrets! 

Cheers Big Ears!

Nice find. I notice that fossil is underwater. Is there a wet cave at Mt Shank we don't know about?

G'Day

Does anyone recognise the attached critter fossil?
I'm guessing he's a 40,000 year old distant relative of this very much alive critter in a nearby pond.

Cheers Big Ears!

And people say CAVE diving is dangerous. 

Not sure I like the idea of the hooka system - think I'd prefer scuba so I didn't need to go back through the cage again, or be restricted to where I could 'hide'.

Indeed, but I think it's very unlikely for us to find a model willing to bare the Mt Gambier temperatures and pose on the 'harvester' at the bottom of one tree with a dress instead of a a wetsuit or drysuit on.
