aerogrower Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Wait for more experienced members, but from that last picture almost looks like a cast. If so no prep work is possible. Its the impression of an ammonite. Like I said wait for more responses, and welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 yeah, it really looks like a impression. If you plan was to prep it, I hope you didn't pay too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmoceras Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 3 minutes ago, Yvie said: Agree impression,but what is the other bit? Looks like another bit of ammonite - which would prep. I wouldn't attempt it with my basic tools though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 get a small sample of molding compound... silicon or something and make a mold of it. You will then have a positive of your ammonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
