Crinoid columnals from Devonian Keyser Formation in Pennsylvania
traveltip1 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I collected some crinoid columnals and a horn coral....weathered from the Devonian Keyser Formation limestone in Pennsylvania. As usual, preservation is not very good. -
Greetings from Central PA. I'm a total noob when it comes to fossil prep. Today I have a flattish piece, about 10" across and 1" thick. It from a large outcrop of wavy laminations that I believe are from a Keyser Formation stromatoporoid. It's pretty weathered and too hard to tell if pillars are present. So I'd like to try to grind/polish one edge. I have a good collection of metal and woodworking sanders and grinders available but nothing specifically designed for rocks. So my QUESTION IS.... is there a reasonable way to grind/polish the edge of this sample to look for stromatoporoid pillars? I'm just guessing that false negatives are common doing this sort of thing. so I thought I'd seek expert advice before I just make up some hatchet job only to get iffy results. Thanks
