Ancient Bones Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I have some small rock samples similar to this. What is the best way to extract some of the shells? Is vinegar safe ? I believe the matrix is coquina. ' Keep calm and carry on fossiling ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 This looks like moldic limestone where the shells have dissolved away and only steinkerns remain. Vinegar would dissolve everything so I don’t think it would work very well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
