Jurassicz1 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 So i spray little bit of water on my fossils and scrub with a toothbrush. But sometimes these appear orange marks. Not sure if i just did not see them before. I prep under a normal ikea lamp. I have heard the sun can discolor fossils. My curtains cover the Windows in the room. The water really helps me see better detail. I just wanna be 100% safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Lamps and sunlight do not generally discolor rock fossils. I'm guessing that the orange you are seeing was hidden by dirt or mud.
