belemniten Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Here is a piece with four paddle bones and another bone from a rather big Ichthyosaur. I found it about 2 weeks ago in the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic) and finished the prep today. Overall I spent about 6 hours to prep this one. Especially because of the belemnites. The paddle bones are about 5 cm long. Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the unprepped stone but you could only see the cross sections of the bones on both. But here are some pictures of the progress: Finished: And some detailed pictures: I used air scribes and air abrasion to prep it. 11 Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget it always but sometimes I don't do it because I am not sure if the fossil is really worth to be prepped. For example this time it could have been that there are only two broken bones (because of the cross section on both sides of the stone) on the plate. 17 hours ago, RJB said: A really neat piece.
