Hello everyone and thank you for letting me join the forum I believe I had joined before and I couldn't find my account for some reason it's been some years so I guess it got deleted and also I'm using my phone because back in January the apartment building I lived in burnt down and I'm staying at this motel which happens to be on a gold mine for fossils Well my question is this on the formations of the fossils in the limestone mainly the hotter limestone which is probably the older one like the green and the greenish blue and the gray I have several large pieces that look like they you know might be fun to do but I'm wondering on which way to approach it I got to get some vinegar and some baking soda and some Lodge tubs probably at the dollar store and let him soap for a few days and also I mean what's inside these formations I mean would there be like any like crystallization from the act because there's a few of them that which are crystallized which would be agate I think I'm not sure I'm a tool and die person so I mean this is new to me so please bear with me Also when I was collecting these you'll see by the pictures I mean I got a few of them because like I said I'm stuck in a hotel and only thing to do is walk up and down the river and I found some triangular ones which are also extremely heavy and I think they're also like the green Crystal type ones inside I'm not sure has anybody seen these before and they have some pretty good fossils on them on the outside in depth are about probably a half inch into out you know and on the smaller one just seems to be like guidelines on how do I guess clean it I mean that's kind of odd so to speak I mean it's like paint by number well if anybody has any input please let me know thanks again for the joint I'll try not to add so many pictures next time
