Adam.morris08 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 This month I have a xipheroceras from lyme Regis, UK. 190myo. It's from a septarian or a stellare nodule. Found on the 10th, prepped on the 17-18th It was the stickiest ammonite I've ever prepped. A bit of a nightmare 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssuntok Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It seems to me we ought to have a "Preparation Job of the Month". Some of these fossils, quite apart from the find themselves, have had very skillful prep done on them! Steve Suntok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It seems to me we ought to have a "Preparation Job of the Month". Some of these fossils, quite apart from the find themselves, have had very skillful prep done on them! I share the sentiment behind this; there is some awesome skill displayed on our Forum! The drawback to a Prep-of-the-Month competition is that, while any member has a chance at finding THE fossil, our pool of highly skilled preparators is much smaller. 2 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

jcbshark Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I would like to submit my Florida Parotodus benedeni tooth for consideration for VFOTM Based on where it was found it's likely late Miocene. I found it Nov 28 and while it's far from perfect they are very rare in south Florida Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!
