Crabs nearest living relatives are scorpions, ticks, and land spiders. They are considered to be “living fossils” because of the great similarity between modern and fossil forms. Ranging from the Late Ordovician (roughly 450 million years ago) to the present, they are little changed in the last 250 million years.
After collecting fossils as a hobby for many years growing up, Dave Douglass opened Dave's Down to Earth Rock Shop in 1970 at the age of 20 (with the help of his parents) at 1312 Chicago Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. The shop contained minerals and fossils, mostly self-collected by the Douglass family.
