Megalodoodle Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I've tried everything I can think of to remove this mud that is caked on so many of my newly acquired specimens. Every time I use my brush to remove the mud the fossils beneath become horribly disfigured. Any ideas for how to remove the mud and keep the fossil intact at the same time? I can't use water because the rock is soft and cracks when wet. Any brush recommendations? Currently I am using a standard paintbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Showing a few pictures would probably be of some benefit to obtain more pinpoint advice. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Sounds like the mud and the fossil are the same thing and married to each other, so there's not much you can do to improve on that. But like Kane says, a photo here might help. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
