I am prepping a Camarasaurus Sp. for about 18 months now (whenever I find some free time... :) )

The pictures show a dorsal vertebra. This one took me about 50 hours to prep.

Worth the effort and then some. Great specimen.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

The beauty of prepping and/or being a prepper is knowing that if you screw up and make a small mistake or two, less than 1/10 of 1% of all the people in the world can see that you did and they won't complain because they know how hard it is to get perfect specimens to begin with, and that makes job security a gimme until the day you go blind.

Nice work. Where was it found?

 

Thanks.

Near the village Shell in the northern part of Wyoming, USA. The bones were eroding out of a hill in the uppermost layer of the Morrison Formation.

@Flx Do you perhaps have anything to do with the people at the Sauriermuseum Aathal?

 

Yes, the Aathal team is teaching me how to prep dinosaurs.

I am also in the "Förderverein" of the museum. ;)
