[@sandramays795]

Just an amazing crinoid plate. So 3D and intricate. Gorgeous. Lovely and peaceful landscape shots at the end too.

EXACTLY what I was going to write lol, TY 😁 Really looking forward to the finished plate 😍😍😍😍 Great post chaps👏👏

Love the content and got my dad into the channel. I bought him an ammonite fossil from your website. The fossil is fantastic and you sent me a little pebble with a starfish in it for free. Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you, I’m glad you like our content and that you also enjoyed the fossils we sent you! Thank you for supporting our channel, we really appreciate it 🦖🦕🎄🔬

[@k.jespersen6145]

The sheer featheriness of that crinoid is astounding. Oh... and a beautiful, wonderful, glassy sea at sunset... how many wonders you see, where you live!

[@YorkshireFossils]

It’s lovely isn’t it! Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@suesmith9202]

Omg that's absolutely amazing. I could watch that all day seeing the fossil becoming exposed.

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you, more exciting fossils to come! 🦕🦖

[@Phoenixavalone]

I love watching your fossil preparation videos. I would love to watch a whole beginning to end prep. No cuts. Just beginning to end. They would be super long and you'd have to set the camera up on a stand but it would be so relaxing to watch

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you, I had thought about that but wasn’t sure if people would find it boring or not, we can certainly bear that in mind for a future preparation video! 🔬🦖🦕🎄

[@sandramays795]

I don’t have a particular type of fossil I’d like to see prepared, as they are all interesting. But it would be nice to see all the various stages and methods of prep, including stabilization if needed, repair/restoration, the final finishing touches, etc. Maybe a rundown of all the shop tools and materials, and when/how each is used?

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you, we will certainly bear that in mind for future fossil preparation videos! Thanks for the feedback and ideas

[@nexlemav]

The Crinoid restorations are one of my favorites. Watching as all the fossils are released below.

[@YorkshireFossils]

They’re so satisfying to see aren’t they!

[@Tseringlhatso]

How beautiful!! When I was a child, we still had open coal fires in the house. One day I found a piece of coal with a stunning pyrite fern inside it. For the next few weeks I insisted on cracking open each piece of coal we had before it went in the fire, I drove my Mum nuts and she banned me eventually 😂. I don't remember what happened to the fern, wish I still had it!

[@sandramays795]

Those are the best finds! The total surprise 😮

[@YorkshireFossils]

That sounds awesome, definitely the best type of find!

[@nikkigraham7494]

So cool. Loved finding fossils gems and the like all my life but never seen the prep with air before..thanks for sharing 🥰

In charmouth fossil shop,the owner prepares his incredible finds in the same way, very much looking forward too another week of fossiling in march.

You could almost make a scenic mountain or snowy cliff video with a piece of shale or slate and the blaster particles

Haha you could yeah! ❄️

you use backingsoda for sandblasting? Or what is the white powder

Thats an AWESOME fossil your dad is preparing my fave fossil has to be Ammonites I dont know what the differences in the species yet but still looking into learning how

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you, he is preparing many specimens at the moment, including ammonites!

How would someone learn to find and prepare fossils like how you and your dad does?

[@sandramays795]

Study books, study videos, study relevant websites.

[@swankierSpy2658]

@@sandramays795 ok It is hard to find relevant and factually correct stuff or the things I am actually searching for and I tried before and found all sorts of stuff but nothing actually relevant to what I want to find

@@sandramays795 just fossils

[@sandramays795]

@@swankierSpy2658 Ok, I was going to try to help you but that’s about as non-specific as you can possibly get 😂 Prep is going to vary based on the type of fossil, mineral composition, how it fossilized, condition when found, matrix it’s in, etc, etc. Finding fossils (or not), and what type, is going to have everything to do with your location. Unless you’re extremely lucky like these guys and live where things are just falling out of the cliffs, finding fossils takes an extreme amount of commitment, research, and time just to have an idea of where to start looking.

[@suesmith9202]

O and can you do that on sand stone

[@marksmith2885]

Yes definitely. Sandstone is usually very soft so can be removed easily.

[@YorkshireFossils]

Please see our dad’s comment above

[@stackingdubs2855]

How does one know before hand that each nodule contains a fossil ?

[@susanmask4635]

Have you ever blasted with walnuts?

[@marksmith2885]

We've heard about using Walnut powder but don't know which size micron to use and don't know where to purchase it from

[@YorkshireFossils]

Please see our dad’s reply above

[@susanmask4635]

I don't know about micron size. I would think any company that sells sand blasting related medium would have it. I used to clean dentures. The walnut cleaned calculus ( hard mineral ) from the dentures without any damage to the acrylic. Happy finding and💜 love from America!

[@marksmith2885]
