RJB Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I started this fossil prep project about 3 years ago and I finally finished it up and turned it into a video. A very time consuming project and had to figure out how to do some of the things I did to get this fish back together. It came in many pieces and all the pieces were of a different thickness, so I came up with an ingenious way to take care of that. I had an absolute blast making this video.

Mart1980 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Nice video again! Informative and great fun to watch. Also filled with a healthy dose of humor. The little things that go wrong are recognizable, there is always something. Thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's Libanopristis or Micropristis, it belongs to the same family of sawfishes (not sharks), the Sclerorhynchidae, which is actually not related to any sawfishes living today - separate group with a separate ancestry. All the members of this group lived only during the Cretaceous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
