Hey everyone. I've been blown away by some of the shark tooth restoration work out there so I wanted to learn this skill for myself. I practiced on a real beat up tooth I found. It was probably too challenging of a tooth to restore on my first attempt but I figured it would be a good opportunity to practice restoring the root as well as enamel. The sculpting material hasn't completely cured yet but when it does I will be smoothing it out and then painting it. The enamel areas definitely need smoothing. It's far from perfect but I just figured I'd share this first attempt. Below are is a photo of the tooth how it looked before, some progress pics, and how it currently looks. I'm going to keep practicing. If anyone has any tips or tricks that would be awesome!

I was prepping this Actinoceras out of limestone, and accidentally must have hit the phragmocone a few times too many when removing the matrix. Is there any way to try to minimize or fix the white scuff marks? I used a PA6-GF33 Dremel Engraver. It wasn't touchless( I know I probably should acquire air tools) so I scratched the specimen. It was almost entirely covered save for a tiny sliver. I put alot of hours into it and would like it to look the best I can. Any advice helps. Its from the Carter's Limestone from Nashville. Approx 438 mya Ordovician
