I was looking at a fossil preparation website and they suggest a Dremel 290 +/- a micro “sandblaster”.
Idk. I know nothing about fossils but I think this could be awesome if I could clean it a bit?
Thoughts?
I collected and prepped this 19 1/2 inch 70 pound Eopachydiscus from the Duck Creek formation last spring.
Brought our boat to shore near an Air BnB, I looked down and found this! Soaked in some water with a little soap and scrubbed with a soft bristled toothbrush,
I’m not familiar with fossils at all, but I think this is a really great find!
I stumbled across a yard sale in the country not far from my house. Of course I had to stop & am so glad that I did. What first caught my eye was the massive table of rocks, minerals, and fossils. The family told me that they bid on storage units to flip for a profit & that one of their recent belonged to a geologist. I bought a new rock saw and stone grinder. I also bought most of the stuff from the table, including a pile of "rubble" that turned out to be most of a fossil turtle shell! I was vibrating with excitement as I unpacked the 2 totes of stuff I got for really. I'm looking for help in identifying some of the fossils and tips in preserving fossil leaf and bug imprinted on slate.
What is it? It’s glittery around the growth patterns. Smells kinda metallic.
Any ID info about the top left greatly appreciated :)
Found this pattern on the surface of the tile, which looks like a spine slice. Has been completely quartzized.
Found in cuenca, southeast of the iberian peninsula, can anyone ID?
Got my first Indonesian Meg tooth and don’t regret a thing
So I found this whilst digging the back garden up, heard it against the shovel it felt very hard, does anyone know what this may be? It is very heavy, significantly heavier than a rock, it can be scratched slightly with metal.
