sseth Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I just finished prepping this plate which contains two beautiful small fish. Most of the work was done in the blasting cabinet. The diplomystus is very nice and has a lot of detail. The knightia is also nice and has its mouth wide open. _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acryzona Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Sseth, Nice photos. What are the dimensions of the slab? How long did it take you to clean them with abrasion? I'm still working on my first Green River fish with a dental pick and very little time to work on it - it will probably take me years!

RJB Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey Seth. Good job. May I ask what kind of rock those are in? Looks like 18 inch layer, but different? May I also ask what media you used? Just curious. I also like all the rock those two fish are in. So many fish out there in as little a rock as absolutly possible! I would think that your fish are worth more money than you think just because they are surrounded by so much of the original sediment. Im one of those guys who puts a lot of value in just the rock and not just the specimens. Again, nice job. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
