That mask isn't enough to prevent silicosis by the way, you want a good sealing p2 mask.

Great video. Love the music too :)

thank you now i know how

Hey I would love to hear more , I have found an Abundance of different Brachiopods and Trilobites primarily , but also Others Teeth , Bone and Soamy more I've yet to even remotely categorize yet . Thank You

Been prepping my fossils from around here by hand in Florida (limestone usually) but this video was very helpful and to the point ! Well done and very helpful

Very good work ;)

Very nice fossils!!!

Nice video (y) :D

how do you get fossles out of hard great lake limestone,this stuff si so damn hard nothing seems to work short of a hammer.

2liter bottle drill small hole in upper side. Fill with water if u loosen cap on bottle water will come out of hole u drilled. U can see this on pinertest

I found a brachiopod and I’m worried if water is gonna damage it

I have three fossil and ancient wood. I have Pink Gastropod, a Ray Tooth, a Shark Vertebrae and Petrified wood

I have a Mosasaur tooth incased in a bit of limestone where you can see the majority of the fossil without having to drill, but the limestone keeps leaving little dust particles whenever I set it down anywhere. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm mostly just wanting to have it sit on my desk for display if that factors into anything. TIA!

I prefer a Dremel engraver over a rotory tool as it works more like the professional air scribe that they use in labs.

Gloves why

How do you polish a Belemnite ? Please answer

watering system = 5 gallon bucket and a small diameter hose. Total noob doing prep. Do it like this if you want to destroy your specimen.

Is the water going to be damaging to my limestone?

Would help if you would give info like what is the bit your using?

Because these had plenty of depth, the fossil could be ground away to remove outer matrix AND imperfections?

Is your Dremel tool a drill where the bit goes round or does the tip vibrate like an engraving tool

For water use a 2 liter bottle with a hole about 1/2 way down. With your rinse basin you can work over top of it when you're ready to work loosen the lid until you get the flow needed. This will last 7-8 min. And cost nothing.

Should have a mask for sure, better than the sar's mask

How about a water bottle, aquarium hose, a clamp for a gravity drip system for water system?

Great video, thanks! I would suggest, face mask, working in open air or under a vacuum hood. Not in your living area.

Thanks for the tips!!
