RJB Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 My sons friend did some work on my big tractor and I told him I would prep out one of my sons ammos for him. I cant do any scribe work till i get my compessor back to working, but i was able to do some grinding on it, some glue up work and a small bit of 2 part putty. Still gots a ways to go though.

ynot Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So how much popcorn do I need for this one? Good luck with this wee beastie! Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Ptychodus04 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 You can certainly tell how much time Ron spends prepping by the frequency of his posts due to his failed compressor!!! This is pretty cool looking. I like the white sutures.

Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It's always nice when the ruler you are using is too small for the fossil ... haha. That's gorgeous ... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 That's a biggy, can't wait to see it prepped out into all its glory! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hey @ynot, should'nt take too much popcorn? @Ptychodus04. most of the fragmacone was all powdery white do I decided to just take it off to show the sutures. @Brett Breakin' Rocks. Ha!!! Never thought of using myself as a ruler for scale, but when i do find a fossil big enough for that, then i will do it. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ok, I did some more work on this thing. I did glue some pieces of shell on the 'back' side on top of the 2 part putty area and will do some grinding to make it look perty good. It will look a heck of a lot better than just a missing piece! I will do the same to the other side too. I also shaped it so it will kinda look like it has an apature? Not the best, but its better than not doing it. Ive got a ways to go, but im sure my sons freind will like it very much!!! Its a piece of cra-p, but its turning out to be a very nice piece of cra-p!! Ha!!!
