I could say that about the horseshoe crabs at Point Pleasant, NJ.
Is the geographical distribution wide on those? Do you get them in
California? (Or are you not there anymore?)
One specimen of a trilobite really stands out. It's the one with
a bite out of it, which evidently on the actual animal healed
long before its death and fossilization. Really very amazing.
