Fossildude19 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I see improvements with each successive specimen. Not bad at all for first preps.

Ptychodus04 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Very good first preps. I must say they are better than my first ones 20 years ago! I would suggest employing magnification. It looks like in some areas you are going past where the fossil is or not removing enough matrix. Magnification will greatly improve your ability to see where to stop.

jpc Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I agree with ptych, and I will also say there is a bit much shiny stuff on them. But I am a purist, a fan of no shiny stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
