Roberta NJ CA Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hi - thank you to all that have helped me to acquire so much information on my fossils/concretions. How would I go about hiring a professional to prep some of my larger bone fossils? I assume it would be very expensive and would like to know if it's worth the time and money. I posted several photos in the ID section under the title "Bone or Concretion" and "is this a sea lion". If needed I can resend to this post. Thank you for your continued help and knowledge... very much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the master of crab preparation hands down. Plus, he's like a piece of candy. Hard and crusty on the outside but soft and gooey on the inside.

At the bottom is a button to "message". Clock there and it will give You a page to send a PM (personal message). It is like an email, but is within the Fossil Forums realm only. On the last piece, all of Your pictures are of the same side. Can You post pictures of the other sides and back? I agree with a concretion, but other views may change that opinion.
