quietfocus Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 A paciphacops.5.jpg That turned out great. I desperately want to find some Devonian trilobites. Are these local to you? It has a real similar coloration to the black cat mountain trilos. -Clayton "We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever" - Carl Segan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmshoemaker Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) That turned out great. I desperately want to find some Devonian trilobites. Are these local to you? It has a real similar coloration to the black cat mountain trilos. These aren't local, I bought it unprepped at MAPS. It is from either black cat mountain, or from the Bois d'arc which is quite similar to the haragan. You can find them unprepped at shows, but typically you have to ask because the unprepped material is usually not out in the open.

Lmshoemaker Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Here is one I just finished today, a Glyptambon cephalon. The first photo is from the field before extraction, the second is post preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmshoemaker Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 A juvenile Eucalyptocrinus. A few spiny brachiopods, Strophochonetes. A Glyptambon cephalon from the same plate as the Strophochonetes. One I did for a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmshoemaker Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Two more, these I prepped for my friend Scott: Zeacrinites: Parascytalocrinus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmshoemaker Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Another one I did for my friend Scott. He roughed this one out with an engraver, he did a great job and made this piece a fun one to work on. Another calymene Cephalon, I liked the color on this one: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmshoemaker Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 I found this radical Eucalyptocrinus on a trip I took when I came back home from college for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Wow, Lincoln! You are really coming into your own, prep-wise. Nice Eucalyptocrinus!

Ludwigia Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I agree with Tim, but just wanted to ask if it's not at all possible to remove the rest of the mineral covering, at least at the tips of the arms?

Lmshoemaker Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I agree with Tim, but just wanted to ask if it's not at all possible to remove the rest of the mineral covering, at least at the tips of the arms? It is possible. I meant to do that this week, but forgot to bring it back from college. I didn't at first because I didn't want to break the tips of the arms, but I tried prepping the tips on another with no problem, so when I get the chance I will.

Lmshoemaker Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) And here is the one I referenced in my reply: There is a little bit of shale on it left, but has been cold outside so I tend not to stay out too long to prep.

Lmshoemaker Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Here is one I am currently working on, a favosites in a eucalyptocrinus, which is in another eucalyptocrinus. There is also a (probably) partial periechocrinus beside the others. There is additional work to do; clean up the matrix, and some abrasive work, but I thought I'd share because it is a cool association. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmshoemaker Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Got back from home a few hours ago where I got to work on this Agaricocrinus. Don't have any photos of when I bought it, but it was split then glued back together, leaving a little cavern where you could see the crinoid inside, which was pretty neat looking by itself. I decided to prep the matrix into a bowl shape. The arms weren't as complete as I thought when I bought it, but it is pretty cool in my book: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmshoemaker Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Man, it's been forever since I've posted here, well here is one more. A dimerocrinites from the Waldron with a deformed arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
