Just came back from a fossil hunting trip at the Aust cliffs (uk), I found some of the rhaetic bone bed and wanted to use acid to prep. Is there some type of vinegar which will work? Thanks for reading

These latest fossil images showcase the past six months of hunting and photographing tiny Triassic treasures from micro matrix derived from a 2 oz. (56 grams) chunk of bone bed from the Rhaetian Age of the Triassic Period at Aust Cliff, UK. They are approximately 200 million years old. I am fortunate to have been sent this very rich matrix from the UK by a friend and fellow avocational paleontologist across the pond who collected the matrix at Aust. After carefully breaking down about half of the densely packed bone bed rock, I found a wide variety of shark and boney fish fossils, most of which were entirely new to me. (As a result, I now have a large collection of papers regarding the Rhaetian Triassic!) Photographing the finds was very challenging due to the tiny size and the fact that they were very fragile and several broke with just a touch of the paintbrush hairs. These are some of the Triassic treasures that I found. (I will build a gallery for the entire collection.) Please let me know of any corrections needed. To begin, the shark teeth: Lissodus minimus is a common find, but difficult to recover complete. Rhomphaiodon minor is also quite common, and is much better preserved with complete roots. This was a nice surprise. The delicate Pseudodalatias barnstonesis lower is damaged, but identifiable. Duffinselache holwellensis I found it incredible that the tiniest fossils were some of the best preserved as were these Chondrichthyan dermal denticles. Here are some of the fish fossils collected. (I did my best at IDs for some of the teeth.) Thanks for looking
