Excellent preparation !

I'm very interested in Keichousaurus preparation; will you give us more detail about technique you used ?

I suppose you used micro sandblaster to remove matrix from the fossil and then formic acid (witch concentration ?) to finish the job ....

Oh wow! I wish the chinese would do it this way! Fantastic!!!

[Laboratary FODERE]

Hi Raimo,

Yes by this way but for make a solid and better keich you does use paraloïd B72 for consolidate the fossil and matrix (or super glue for the matrix). I can give somes advices but I invested lot of time (3 years) and money to find the right technique, I can not say everything, I hope you understand what. However, the choice of the layers is very important. Some layers are very hard and the air abrassive and acid don't work...
