rocket Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) At the moment my turtle-project stopped. Have not had enough nerves for it, but with coffee and chocolate it will go on next month this gave me time to finish a nice stingray from lebanon, Cyclobatis oligodactylus (EGERTON). We bought it from a dealer in Ste Marie this year. Not so far away than the Lebanon, and (exept of all the crazy collectors running around ) safer than Lebanon... Prep works was done with airpen from Hardy Winkler, I only use the 1 and 10. Gaps had been filled with plaster and colored, finish cleaning with low percentage acid. Size is around 14 cm here we go: backside light from the top, fossil TOP! first steps going on looks good finished, happy Rocket blue-light pic Edited September 27, 2022 by rocket 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Trilo Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Awesome prep! Rays are some of my favorite animals, and you did a really good job at bringing it back to life. 1 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
