Ludwigia Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well done! I assume with hand tools? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBrewer Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Fab, great job. I use a hand engraver too. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Looks good. I don't suppose that specimen had much in the way of preserved outer shell that wouldn't flake off as you uncovered it? I have heard that electric engravers aren't as effective and the vibration might affect your hand as much as the fossil... But apparently you can manage with smaller, softer items?
