Hello everybody. I went through one of my fossil sheds the other day, something I have not done for quite awhile now, but I dug through some old boxes and totes and along with a lot of other fossils I ran into this box of echinoids. I remember it was a trade and I remember they come from someplace in southern Cal. The darker ones I want to say come from the Bakersfield area? By any chance does anyone recognize these and cann help with any info would be great. Thank you RB

Any tips on preserving this specimen I found over the weekend? I'm happy with the aboral side but I'd like to uniformly remove a majority of the sediment below, which is loose enough to scratch off with a fingernail. However, avoiding damage to the fossil is obviously of utmost concern... is there something I can safely apply to the fossil surface to prevent stress cracking?

There are lots of locations in the country where the fossils we collect are found associated with red soil or persistent red clay. This isn't a rust stain, but the very fine grains embedding themselves on the porous surface of the fossil, in the following picture the subject is specifically echinoids. Is there a secret way of removing this coloration? The Wythella eldridgei are particularly fragile, so I was concerned about ultrasonic cleaning or heavy scrubbing. Any tips?
