An honorary archaeology degree for the hermit crab

SIBU ISLAND, MALAYSIA - Who would have thought that a creature as small as this...

...has the ability to dig so much and create sand patterns as mysterious as these?

May all archaeologists be equally enthusiastic diggers like the hermit crab! :D

    Your website is amazing ... as usual. I am afraid that i am not artistically talented as the Hermit crab (my units are quite geometric!) ... but we have some similarity since since digging in far away places is a bit living like an Hermit ... :) If only it could be next to the beach!
