fossil_sea_urchin Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I have decided to do a live prep thread on a Dorset ammonite. The ammonite is roughly a foot across and is embedded in a big bit of matrix. I am exposing the ammonite using very basic tools, so fingers crossed I will post regular updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanJeavs Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Are you sure there’s an ammo I’m there? It does like as though it could be a good chunk of calcite running through instead. Any better pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossil_sea_urchin Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Sorry I need to get back and post pictures as one side of the ammonite was almost completely exposed but worn, like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
