Runner64 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Hey all was outside today at Pit 11. Came across this piece open. Possibly the back half of a tully monster? Will try cleaning more once home if it will help. Thanks in advance. @Nimravis@RCFossils@connorp @Mark Kmiecik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you both, any suggestions on how to remove the calcite? I have been using a dilute white vinegar but doesnt seem to be doing the job at the moment and don’t want to use too much with risk of damaging it.

RCFossils Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 It’s pretty weathered. I do not think that there is much more you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilhunter21 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I agree, it looks cool how it is. Cheers and Shalom, -Micah Edited March 18, 2023 by fossilhunter21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilNerd Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Well, I’m going to have to disagree with the others. It looks awful! I suggest you send it to me straight away. I’ll hide it out of sight so no one else has to look upon it… Only kidding of course! A bit weathered, but a Tully is a Tully, so it’s a great find in any condition.

Mark Kmiecik Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Looks like a Tully. Nice find. I never found one. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
