Ptychodus04 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 @Nanotyrannus35 just sent me a handful of Lance Formation bone fragments to prep. They were mostly turtle shell and we’re pretty fragile in the loosely consolidated Lance Sandstone. A bit of time under the microscope with the micro jack and some low pressure abrasive worked wonders on the bones. They got a healthy dose of Paraloid B72 stabilizer and are headed back to their home today. Some before and after pics are below. 1 4 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Nice work. These shattered things can be a challenge. That last photo seems to show soft-shelled turtle texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanotyrannus35 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thanks @Ptychodus04 for the prep! Just wondering, how did you determine that they were turtle bones? Enthusiastic Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 It doesn't take long for us to get off topic. Kind of like the metal band my buddy and I had in HS.
