Prepping a MONSTER AMMONITE! Excavating & Extracting Calcite Whelks, Clam Shells, and a 13" Ammonite

[@jthitz]

Theo, your natural passion for you rockhounding and rock/crafting/art, is a part of a huge resurgence for both young and old to dig things from the earth and from their old collections. Great job

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Way to go Theo!! Very interesting to watch you work these specimens.

[@cvx2dog549]

Yes to more fossil prep videos. Please mention all the equipment you like to use also.

[@oldhippie2388]

Love the fossil prep videos. I love fossils. This is the first time I bought some dremel bits and spiffed them up. Lol. An Artiste is born!!! Thanks

[@michaelvandyke]

Nothing better than prepping fossils, nice work Theo.... You did a great job on that partial Ammonite..

[@nancygaxiola5412]

I wish I had the right words to say exactly what I think of your work...from hounding to finishing whatever you are going to do with what you find...the only words I can say is how talented you are, creative, thorough I'm dumbfounded at your work!☺️

[@largent45]

That was amazing and that giant ammonite is just...stupendous! So ridiculously awesome! There is no shortage of awesome fossils around you! They are all fabulous and yes of course we would love to see more fossil prep videos! Thanks Theo!

What a throughly frustrating piece to work on, but it's the best that you can do. Thanks for all the work and the good finish. Take a deep breath and do something simple to get you back in the zone.😊

Theo, Thank you so much for these videos of your work. I love seeing you bring out the natural beauty of your specimens while preserving some of the "rawness" of the original. You teach me so much and make me appreciate even more the beauty of the natural world we live in. Jeep up the good work. Thanks again 😍

[@donnabeaudin9114]

Love watching you prep those fossils! Loved the giant ammonite! Thanks Theo! Can you share with us what tools and where you get them?

[@janehelbert7551]

Wow! that ammonite is beautiful!

[@judymarkel8029]

I loved the crystal filled shells. I didn't know that was a thing. So cool

[@Doxymeister]

Ooo, this is hard. I love my horse teeth, but....I love the fossil shells with calcite as well. And that large ammonite is to die for! Love, love, love the ammolite sheen. Thanks for taking us along on this, Theo!

[@jamesblondeau1029]

So awesome to watch when you excavate fossils. Just so much to learn from you. Thanks for taking the time to make the video sir 👍

[@deniseview4253]

Yes, the favorite is the big ammonite. The whelks are beautiful.

[@cynergy4]

My fave? Love me those whelks Theo! I always enjoy watching you excavate cool stuff!

[@treeismee6062]

Yeah, that ammonite is my favorite. It does deserve a stand.

[@lovefaith1794]

Hi Theo. Watching you on long drive home❤

[@RM-vw3ov]

Amazing specimens Theo!

[@denniswheeler2645]

Wow, great find

[@janehelbert7551]

Love the whelks!

[@406findings]

I have some big Baculite Fossil that need prepping but I have no idea how or the tools needed so I'll have to stop by your shop with questions or I'll just pay you to do it 👍

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* So Sad that it looks like it was stepped on.. You did well & showed us the nature of the colors it could have had.. Thanks for all your work.. Yes ~ please, Prep more fossils..

[@patriciamckean4186]

Beautiful specimen. 😍

[@joang.cavanna2046]

I like the whelks best. I like the fossil prepping video

[@gator83261]

Very cool.

[@raystevens687]

That's why your using CA glue to stables the sheel.

[@TNTreverie]

What is the tool you are using to remove the excess rock, and, what was the specific kind of super glue you used to stabilize the ammonite?

[@nancygaxiola5412]

I can't remember how to find where you sell items...

[@Soulfog]

What tool were you using when restoring/preparing the ammonite?

[@mariadelosangelesgloriafig504]

Hola Theo me gustaría ver como transformas esas piedras antiguas en obras de arte Felicidades 🎉Bendiciones Amén 🙌🙏🙏🙏🙅‍♀️💕⚘❣🌹🌿⚘⭐🕊⭐🌟💫🙏🙅‍♀️🌿🕊⭐🌟⚘

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* Did you know there is an Ammonite creek or river in Texas? That is a baby compared to them.. Wish you could go there & bring home a Huge one to prep....
