LiamL Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Just sharing afew of my finds i've been working on today. Firstly a big, marine reptile or fish coprolite that i expected to pop out of the matrix. I'm not sure if it'll look better kept in, but it's pretty delicate. Secondly a lobster, claw or body part. Not sure which. Remember i'm still new to prepping, so everything is new to me. Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belemniten Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Very nice A friend of mine keeps reminding me to smooth the surface near the fossil That emproves the result considerably. Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The lobster is part of the cephalothorax. I think it's likely upside down in the photo, which is to say be careful going around the part that is more deeply into the concretion as delicate structures such as the rostrum are likely still hidden in there.

Don Thanks! Do you think i should start removing matrix from the other side instead? This was found in a nodule which i split and was surprised to see the bumpy crustation structure. That's why i continued prep from that side. Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Yeah, not claw. Ditto to what FossilDawg said. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft matrix is nice, but I mostly find loose fossils with no need to prep. On The Hunt For The Trophy Otodus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
