fossil_sea_urchin Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Today I went to Compton Bay, Isle of wight. By the time I got there I only had an hour before a storm stopped me. I found a large 23cm section of fossilised wood with some pyrite covering it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankh8147 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Very cool! Have you had any luck preserving wood like this against further deterioration? I've tried a lot of different things but mine has all turned to dust.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a lot of different things but mine has all turned to dust.. I have heard of this but I've a few bits wood before that didn't turn to dust but I can't remember what I did with them. I just hope this one won't end up bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
