How to reduce visibility of preparation marks on matrix
ToadCultist posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
Bought this lovely green muscle a few days ago and was wondering if there's anything I can do about the white marks left behind in the matrix from preparation. I've been recommended to use a thin layer of paraloid and I just wanted to double check if this is a good idea. If so what percentage would you guys recommend. Thanks in advance!

Had fun with this left mandible from a Bos primigenius today as I used a new prepping technique I’ve not tried before. After removing as much matrix as possible with a sharpened wooden spatula and brushing away all the resulting dust. I decided instead of rinsing the bone under a tap I would try and remove as much residue as possible with everyday “non- perfumed wet wipes”. And I must admit the results are quite satisfactory on two parts, firstly the problems I always encountered when prepping this type of bone. Is that after over soaking with flowing tap water you could never really dry out the internal structure of the bone sufficiently. Secondly there is far less mess in my utility sink.
