hi! i recently acquired some trilobites with the intention of sending them off to be prepared professionally. however i would also like to start prepping myself and thought this might be a good opportunity. i’m a student and don’t have the biggest funds so was looking at the Dremel 290 engraver with the zoic palaeotech fossil prep bits. this with ppe is about £54 which is great for me. these are the specimens i would like to prepare: the main advice i wanted was should i stick to going the professional route on these guys or trying it myself. i’ve heard that very fine detail is hard to get without an air abrasive tool which i cannot get, anyone able to give their advice is welcome!!

Used a sewing needle and acid (water and 45% vinegar mix) to prep this due to size. Never used to technique before and finished it off with Paleobond. Did it come out ok? I had no choice but to Paleobond as I loosened a part of the cheek spike while prepping. The pygidium is 8mm long and 10 mm wide. Mississippian Golconda formation.
