Wrangellian Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I would have thought the prep was impossible if I hadn't seen this and similar. Must have been a lot of breaks and reattachments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, according to Fossilworks.org the name of that taxon is Koneprusia. Only with one "s", not two.

honourable Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Oops! It's koneprusia. Not sure how to edit the post. The prep was done with micro-abrasive technique and lots of reattachment and over 100 hours I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
