Fossil Hunting Find Uncovered From Rock After Millions Of Years

Fossil Preparation of a Norfolk Coast Ammonite , the matrix on this one was incredibly sticky so there was no separation between the matrix and surface of the fossil . Tricky indeed with a Dremel 290.

Beast of an amonite! I think everyone who has prepared a fossil with a dremel felt numbness through their hand for a second while watching your video 😆

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Yeah really happy with that one , I think my fingers already went numb 😂

[@Hitokage]

So big!

Where are you matey. Missing your uploads. Hope all is good.

[@MrTatts64]

Excellent find there matey!!

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks mate 👍

[@lukematthes9438]

Patience of a Saint. So that’s why I haven’t seen you! Nice find for Norfolk

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Yeah that did take several days to prep , actually hedge cutting at my folks now

[@rumplestoutnstrong.675]

Worth it! Well done.

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks a bit of work but wouldn’t have been able to crack that very well with a hammer with all those calcite veins

[@raygrange7312]

Tough old rock. But great finish.

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks Ray took a bit of work but definitely worth it

[@rebeccalucysmith9689]

Very nice🎉

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks 🙏

That's odd preservation for a hildi. Looks like it could be something rarer !

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Any ideas what it is ?

[@fossiliferous]

@@Treasurehunter11001 No i dont recognise it at all! I would have to guess it's something from the Cretaceous deposits from the preservation.

[@nirvanamadpaul]

Hope your keeping well but have to ask...where be you hiding?

[@davidthomas6859]

That’s a great prep with a dremel mate ,definitely not a Hildi ,maybe not a Harpo,bit of investigation is needed 🤔

[@Treasurehunter11001]

I had to actually rub into the surface of the fossil slightly because the rock wouldn’t separate at all but it turned out nice really . No idea what it is

[@davidthomas6859]

@@Treasurehunter11001 Ask some of the Yorkshire guys ,may well have come from up there .Try Mark Kemp or Harry Tabiner🤔

[@ForgottenFossils]

Did you figure out what species it was?

[@Treasurehunter11001]

😀 Liam I presumed it was a Hildi from the Keel but you know me I only know about 4 species , is it actually something else ?

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Oh actually is it a Harpoceras 😂

[@ForgottenFossils]

@@Treasurehunter11001 It doesnt look like anything from Whitby Way, maybe something nearer speeton?

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Interesting 🤔that’s where that last one may have been from
