James_R_V Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I have finally finished exposing another fossil fish from Achanarras quarry in Caithness, which I found in 2020. It took about 2 months to prepare using an dremel 290 engraver. It is a Pterichthyodes (turtle fish). It is mostly complete, although part of the left fin is missing. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_R_V Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 I have put it next to my smaller turtle fish. I mean Pterichthyodes. The smaller one has a better preserved tale. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 One word: beautiful! And that with a Dremel engraver! I'm impressed!
