Shamalama Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Necessity is the mother of invention, Roger, and a vacuum will work just fine. That Aptychus is really detailed! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Glad You are back at it, even if it is a temporary fix. They still look nice. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

At some point the fine dust may start to choke up the motor, but it should do the trick for at least a couple of weeks. I've parked the little Aptychus next to the big one in the display cabinet just for fun. It's probably from a baby Aspidoceras, whereas the big one is presumably from a larger family member, Pseudhimalayites. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

As a matter of fact, I have found one in 3D and a couple pressed flat. The 3D one is in a partial living chamber. The phragmocone is long gone. In an Aspidoceras binodum. Late Jurassic. In Harpoceras sp. Early Jurassic. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Roger, what are those more pronounced looking bits on the flattened ammo? You made a point of photographing them directly, and I plead ignorance on what I am seeing here. Are these associations or something unique to the ammo? ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
