mamlambo Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hi everyone, so I have just gotten into fossil prepping and I'm practicing on some crabs that have some damage to them. Learning so much with each hour I spend! I made a time-lapse of the most recent one: https://youtu.be/kH33t4NklYk?t=675 (short version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STw905QB570 (long version) It's still quite rough at the end, I need to smooth the rock out and I haven't tried to get into the really tight spots with my current tool - waiting to get something like a micro-jack. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whale is sitting in my garden with the sprinkler watering it. I'm sure the neighbours think I am bonkers! "There he is, he waters rocks you know!"

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daves64 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Tell them it's a whale seed & you're trying to make it grow. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Amazing time-lapse. Really enjoyed watching that crab come out of it's shell so to speak. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I couldn't sleep lat night so my first comment here was posted at my local 3AM or so. Then I looked up flights to NZ... I can get there for less than 1000 bucks. I need a sponsor.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Very interesting mamlambo. I can only imagine how exciting that was for you. Been doing prep for 27 years and one of my most exciting times was from my last crab prep. A really good hobbie! Good luck with all your future preps.
