Kosmoceras Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I made this short video of me preparing this ammonite from Morocco. It has been my first big project, so I know the prep is not perfect but it is not bad for my first ammonite. Thanks for looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmoceras Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Interesting, thanks. What tool or tools were employed? Thank you, I use the old trusted engraver, dental picks and a brush. In the future I would like to get hold of an air pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
