RJB Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Well,,,,,, its been awhile since ive made any ammo prep post. Ive got a few in my garage that I will be working on in the next few weeks along with some my son is working on too. RB Here is a Hoploscaphites nicoletti. Gots some problems but looks to be a really nice one with some of that truly outstanding color!!! I didnt take a 'before' picture but have already removed a ton of rock!!! I have turned the rock and my forefinger is on the nicoletti in the 1st picture. Here you can see another nicoleti that is preserved in a totaly different state of preservation, but still quite nice!!! Along with some other ammo's. Ok, can anyone guess what that foamy stuff is? Its one of my long time prep secrets! I just might let the cat out of the bag. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Gorgeous! this is the first I’ve seen this thread. I like how you’re making pedestals for them out of the matrix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 These things are mighty fragile and im having to stop and glue all the time but I can see its worth it. Even though these ammo's are beat up a bit, they are still super gorgeous!!! Still gots a ways to go but the more I work on this the better it gets!!! If you look at the 2nd picture above you can see the start of an ammonite. This picture is that ammo. This rock it turning out to be quite the nice multi block!

RJB Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Been working up a storm on my fossil fishes and making barnwood frames for some, but today I got about to working on an ammo rock from South Dakota that I had high hopes for. It was a double ammo rock. the big one is a male spedini and the smaller one that you can barley see is nicoleti. The smaller one came into some major problems and the spedini ended up also with too many problems. Ive already asked my youngest some to come and get it out of my way. He's purty happy. Im too spoiled. RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'm sure your son can fix up those problems lickety-split. I'd be happy with it too 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still take it, but I don't have the ammonites that Ron has. I still need to figure out a bribe big enough to get his youngest son to relinquish one of his gem grade ammonite concretions. 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
