Adam.morris08 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi all Today I got to try out my new compressor and ARO pen for the first time I have never used a pen before today. I prepped 2 fossils. One that I thought was a pyritic prom, but that was the outer coil. Turns out the rest is a green calcite ammo and will need to be blasted to finish it off. Second was a run of the mill prom from charmouth that I collected yesterday What do you think? I'm very happy for my first attempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snolly50 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Excellent. What technique was employed to account for the difference in appearance between picture #3 and the "polished" look in picture #4? Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hey Adam. You did a great job on that first one! What caught my eye on your second piece is that thingy below that looks very much like crab or shrimp or lobster material? Very very interesting.
