nala Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 could it be possible to prep this pyritised Anahoplites planus ammonite, found within the Gault clay at the cliff base,Albian of Folkestone. without removing the fragile but beautiful shell tracks?

milou115 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 You should try to glue the shell before starting preping it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milou115 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 If you use wood glue you should put water in it in order to feel the smallest holes. The advantage of cyanolit is to be very fluid ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members DB75 Posted January 9, 2018 New Members Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi Nala, I realise this is a very long time after your first post, but having just found two ammonites very similar to yours in Folkestone, I wondered whether you prepared your specimen with hand tools, or if you used an electric abrasion tool? What would you recommend? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
