I know there are fossil preppers out that are very clean and very orginized. Im not one of them. Here is what im used to. Lots and lots and lots of rock chips and dust everywhere!!! And the sheIf is about a 12 inches above my prep bench but the chips really go a flying!! I do have just enough room to do my work but I can see thats it almost time for a 'clean-up'. The thing is, for me, is that if there is rock chips everywhere, then Im doing lots of prep. Belive me, I have to dump at least two 5 gallon buckets a year to the 'rock hole'. It really amazes me that I remove that much rock in little bits!!! But in the end, I end up with some really good fossils. Just glad that I have time to make such a mess! Ha!! Here is a question, "who else has a clean prep bench"? I think not?
