Manticocerasman Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 It has been a while since I've found a decent sized goniatite on my favorite huntingspot, since the good deposits are no longer accesible. But recently I did find a specimen in a recent buldozer track. sadly the specimen has taken a hit from the vehicle moving over it. The extra bonus on the other hand was that there was a 2nd specimen right next to the 1st one. I've rarely seen 2 Manticoceras sp. from this size on the same matrix, so I was very happy with this one On top of that the preparation went realy smooth 14 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

FossilDAWG Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Very nice! I wonder if a little vinegar would help to make the white marks from the bulldozer a little less noticeable by removing the pulverized rock. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
