Hello Again. Today I would like help with what I think is called a concretion that I found in Llantwit Major, South Wales on the beach on Saturday 16th Sept 23. There is something inside like a Nautilus, I think. I had a go at it with a rotating Dremel and a chisel and hammer, but I scratched the fossil, so I stopped. I have bought a Dremel 290 Engraver that is reciprocating, but I haven't used it yet. I wanted to get some advise first. So if you know what this is, I would love to hear from you. I also nearly broke my back retrieving this, so I want to get in right.

I was prepping this Actinoceras out of limestone, and accidentally must have hit the phragmocone a few times too many when removing the matrix. Is there any way to try to minimize or fix the white scuff marks? I used a PA6-GF33 Dremel Engraver. It wasn't touchless( I know I probably should acquire air tools) so I scratched the specimen. It was almost entirely covered save for a tiny sliver. I put alot of hours into it and would like it to look the best I can. Any advice helps. Its from the Carter's Limestone from Nashville. Approx 438 mya Ordovician

Found what I am pretty sure is a trilobite hidden in this matrix, but am completely new to fossil prepping. Any advice on how to possibly remove the matrix? Thanks!
