Adam86cucv Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I had picked up a box full of Lance formation matrix bits a little while ago. This evening while in the garage I couldn't fight the urge to poke around a bit at a couple of pieces. I probably should only focus at one at a time....but temptation. I didn't really mess will the champsosaurus vertibrea in the matrix. I broke out the dental picks and started to play with these chunks. I didn't stay out there long because it doesn't have heat but there are some interesting things that are exposed. Hopefully I can get a spot in the basement set up so I can get deeper into this. I don't know I this fits better in the fossil hunting section or the fossil preparation section. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have a bunch of cool fossils from the same formation and type of matrix and it's great fun trying find things in it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah from what I understand it has a wide variety from dinosaur material similar to Hell Creek to mammalian bones and teeth, and fish teeth and scales. It should be fun and I interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A seller on a certain auction site was selling small lots of material so I asked if he would combine shipping and the next thing I know we worked out a deal for roughly a shoe box full of matrix.

Certainly a nice pick up, you never know what you might find in that kind of matrix. Here's a mostly complete triceratops tooth in a similar matrix that I found a few summers ago. And a really nice alligator/crocodile tooth also in matrix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
