steelhead9 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just finished prepping this juvenile keichousaurus and thought it was worth a view as all the bones are totally pyritized. I've never seen this on any keichousaurus before. All the bones have a burnished gold patina. Mother Nature is awesome! Still Life Fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 That pyrite makes for a really cool fossil. Nice prep job too. Those 'grid pattern' are quite bazar looking. Thanks for sharing. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
