    I love watching the preps. It's like watching someone slowly open their present & you're dieing to see what's inside! This turned out really great! What a nice find! And how nice of you to donate some of your best finds to museums or universities to study. Good editing on the video. 👍❤️

  • @sarejen6868
    @sarejen6868 3 года назад +21

    Thais always fascinating to watch what is exposed in the prep, the possibility of finding even more than what you originally saw on the exterior. Do you hunt through the debris you've removed from the preps to find the micro fossils?

    • @MamlamboFossils
      @MamlamboFossils  3 года назад +10

      I've kept the chips to see if I can one day get the microfossils out of them. I'm not sure what the best way to get them out of the hard rock is yet.

      The glue is pretty stable, it doesn't expand in my experience. It might have been the acid.
