Ive been wanting to get some fish done for a few years now. I have about 5 days of good weather left so since I got the abrasive unit up and running I started on this one. Its a Serrata from the Green River Formation and is in some real nasty rock. Its slow going and I figured I would use 50/50 bicarb/dolomite and cut back on the dolomite when I got to the 'thinner' things. Ha!!! I still had some of the 50/50 when I got to the gut and some of scale covered areas both above and below the spine and low and behold, it worked for those areas too!!! This really tuff hard rock makes for some really hard bones and such!!! I,,,,,,,,, am a happy camper. I still have a few hours left to finish this up, but its turning out purty dang good. RB

wow so happy that non-remanié and josephstrizhak seen my post under the id section as I posted a pic of a tooth of question and in the back ground of the picture they spotted the serratolamna serrata tooth.......thanks guys! and the funny thing about it my wife and I were sifting and checking the gravel bars for a few hours on a day I played hooky from work and at one point she had enough after we walked a considerable distance and said lets turn back now.....I said ok but I'm gonna just check out the next few corner gravel bars real quick just wait here....so off I went a little futher and I have to check the bars bent over and with reading glasses to really see well.....well after a little bit a said to my selve I better turn around and get my wife,so returning I just looked as I walked over the same gravel bars without my glasses and looked down and there it was just sitting in plain view....well anyway thanks again guys ,just thought id share the story of this rare find..
