Troodon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Nice stuff, do these come out looking like this or do they require prep work to clean them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 @Troodon they require a little preparation which was done in the early 90s. I think I may try at some point to re-prep them with more modern techniques but I do like the old school look to them. They hold a little bit of nostalgia for me. Thank you for the kind comments cheers Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 You have an astonishing collection of ammonites. I love how well-documented everything is! Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Thank you very much Andy @-Andy- . I would like to pass on the compliment to you. I have enjoyed very much looking at your Dinosaurs fossil collection. Very informative and you have some stunning fossils. Recently I won the Hell Creek lot on the Grand Christmas auction which I am really happy with. This has now sparked an interest in reading and learning a lot more about Dinosaurs from the post on TFF. Cheers bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
