I'm finally done today with the prepjob of the associated Ichtiosaur verts I found in october near Wimereux in France. thanks to my honney who helped me.

We even restored a 4th vertebra hidden under the matrix that was dammaged during the extraction of the fossil.

 

As found:

Very nice work (and resulting fossil). Did you manage to prep this with just the dental pick and toothbrush pictured?

 

Cheers.

we worked on it mostly with a few dental picks and the toothbrush, somtimes we had to use the airscribe to remove realy hard parts of the matrix. it was a tedious prepjob, but we are realy pleased with the results. And we could work on turns on the piece :P
