Fossil Claw Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Bev was kind enough to send me some materials to practice on with my air scribe. Here is a Maclurites that I did minimal work on to make the make it stand out on the matrix. This one goes on the display shelf. Thank you again Bev!

RJB Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Looks like difficult stuff to prep. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Looks like difficult stuff to prep. RB That southeastern Minnesota limestone is a beast to work with. I have a hundred pounds or so of it containing crinoids, brachiopods, trilobites, etc. that my father collected while they were living in Winona. It is very difficult to prep but the preservation is usually great.

samlovesfossils Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have plenty of fossils from south eastern Minnesota, and many of the fossils contained within the rock are quite well preserved. I have a few (more than seven) trilobites that i have found in the last two summers looking down there. Even here in central Minnesota you can find plenty of crinoids and brachiopods of a good quality if you look hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
