Ludwigia Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Nice finds Gery! This is in one sense the best time of year for collecting at the seaside, despite, or rather because of the storms.

Shamalama Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 You are one dedicated collector, Gery, and your fossils finds reflect that. Will the Pinna clean up any more? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjaak Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hello Coco,just a soft brush and water,that's all for these specimens Hello Nala, Nice pictures and finds! I hope to go there soon. How do you clean with just a soft brush? I think that gray Wimereux rock is very difficult to clean. I have brushed for hours on a sea urchid and bone, but nothing happened... In the end I use a Dremel-tool. Regards Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nala Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks sjaak,the best time to go in the site is now The fossils found in the soft matrix are much easier to prep than the others into the hard rocks and have really a better aspect,with sometimes parts of shells,the woods have also a perfect preservation.best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nala Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 And,this is the result of the prep of a concretion of Oysters Deltoideum delta ( Ostrea deltoidea ) Sowerby from the upper Jurassic.During the prep,the shells open and show a nice effect.
