Crazyhen Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 On this plate is a Keichousaurus and an unknown fossil. You can see there is something at the left hand corner, does it look like a jellyfish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhead9 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Very interesting. A bit of prepping would probably help. Still Life Fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of a soft-bodied specimen like a jelly, I believe that any attempt at prepping would decrease the level of detail because there is no structured boundary between the fossil and the matrix that covers it. In other words, removing the "overburden" will probably make the fossil, if indeed it is a fossil, disappear. P.S. -- Yes, it does look very much like a jelly. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
