Sooty Crayfish (part 1)

Some things we know only from fossils. Some things that we know of today may be found again as fossils in the future. Some things we knew within living memory will never be seen again.

A picture of the Sooty crayfish appeared in a 1959 journal. Sadly that creature which once lived around the San Francisco area seems to have lost the battle to survive introduced species. Sooty crayfish is extinct now so there is little chance it will become a fossil. We will never get to see one swimming about. I will never be able to see what one tastes like.

At least there will be one "Sooty Crayfish".

Let's see how it looks tomorrow.
