A little Ichthyosaur vertebra

[belemniten]

Today I finished prepping a little Ichthyosaur caudal vertebra from Holzmaden. Too bad I didn't took any pictures of the unprepped vert but I did a lot  I prepped it with my air pen and with my new sandblasting machine. I am very happy about this tool 

 

Here it is:

 

 

 

 

 

It's very small with a length of 1.2 cm.

Hope you like it

Nice to see you enjoying your new tools. The abrader makes a big difference, doesn't it?

Oh yes! Especially if you want to prep bones from Holzmaden. They don't really have a good separation layer. More or less impossible to prep them just with an air pen. So now I can prep all my verts and ribs from there
