Raggedy Man Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Todays me birthday and I thought I would share what the Mrs. got me. I'm not a gift guy as I typically do not accept gifts well even though I do appreciate them. One of the down sides to autism I suppose...I dunno. But a while back I expressed to her I needed some small brushes for removing dirt in the field on small finds and such. She got me 4 sets and I was completely surprised actually. She also got me some agatized gastropods from Morocco that I absolutely love. The brushes work really well and I highly recommend them. So...without further adue.... The brushes! agatized gastopods, Cerithium sp. I typically do not collect Moroccan fossils as they easily faked or the site information is sometimes lost and I feel it takes the context away, but thats just me. I do have a Metacanthina barrandei from Alnif, Morroco that I got from the person who prepped it. It came with before, during and after prep pictures which I absolutely love. Just thought I'd share these with yall. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Best regards, Paul 5 ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
