Convalescent Echinoids


MB

Recommended Posts

What you can do whe you are confined at home for one or two weeks after a surgical operation?

In my case.... prepping fossils :)

I found a lot of unprepped echinoids I got from ago, and beeing alone at home, I started the work with the KOH.

Also I studying... fosils of course and posting crbas photos on my web.

here are some of them after the preparation.

Enjoy :)

Wow, really nice work! At some point when you have time, it would be cool to see "before and after" pictures...I am very inexperienced at prep work, and it would be interesting to see some of the stages involved in getting to the finished product. And, can I say it again, nice work!!

Yummie, yumie..... nice echinoids and a nice job too.

Knowing how many unprepped echs are still in my garage I am almost inclined to break a leg myself ..... ;)

Best wishes for your recovery!

Really great job, and all are in great condition, especially that one in the second pic.

That one looks in mint condition.

Recovering seems to agree with you...

Thankyou Mary Ann, next time I'll try to do it. :)
