hadrosauridae Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Happy Fossil Friday everyone! In today's video offering, I sneak across the border into Texas to hunt for those Texas-sized ammonites, and I met another YouTuber on the way. 2 11 "There is no shortage of fossils.

caterpillar Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Nice report. Thanks for sharing. One question. Why do you use a wide chisel? I think a stylus would be more suitable. It's more precise and it penetrates better 1 http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try both wide and narrow next time and see which one works better. "There is no shortage of fossils.

The local geology seems to have dissolved just about all of the shells in this layer. "There is no shortage of fossils.
