Raistlin Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Used a sewing needle and acid (water and 45% vinegar mix) to prep this due to size. Never used to technique before and finished it off with Paleobond. Did it come out ok? I had no choice but to Paleobond as I loosened a part of the cheek spike while prepping. The pygidium is 8mm long and 10 mm wide. Mississippian Golconda formation. 8 RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I like it. I wonder what else you might reveal in the hash with a tooth brush and your weak acid mix. 1 1 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was 2/3 covered when I found it. Now that I have some idea of this method I hope it doesn't take as long next time I use it.

Sjfriend Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Looks excellent. And I too would probably go at other areas with the acid treatment some more. That is a great looking hash plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanotyrannus35 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Nice prep! Lots of bryozoans too, do you think you're going to prep any more of the rock? Enthusiastic Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
