Prepping a Trilobite


Welsh Wizard

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I don’t normally collect trilobites but we spent a few days in mid wales drinking coffee and reading books. We also got a chance to look for trilobites.

 

Here is a partial on a block and whilst having a dig around, I found another one which I’m prepping out.

Very cool! Is the matrix very hard? What are you using to prep it? 


Thanks. The matrix isn’t that hard. It’s shale and I’m using a pneumatic pen.
