      Fossil crabs or echinoids

    I watch a lot of Rockhound hunt/cut videos, and am learning a lot. Theo stabilizes ammonite and ammolite before polishing. Maybe that would help with the flaking before cutting? Thanks for your videos. They look awesome. 😊

    I always wondered what an oyster fossil looked like inside. So cool! Never imagined pyrite! I wonder if any of those little white spots are a small pearl that started. Nice job polishing on such delicate material! 😊

    I would be interested to know if starting on the second grit wheel would be better? Since the material in the oyster was softer!

    Howdy, another random thought. Maybe get a light diffuser if you don't already have one? Would help a ton with the glare from the light when trying to show off the cool parts. Won't get as hard of a reflection

    I see one of those oyster halves had initials in it. MBX, if my eyes work correctly. Never seen those halved. Ammonites, yes: I have some, but not the oysters. Have some of those too, but whole. Have a good week / end :)

    Those are amazing! Have you considered using cyanoacrylate glue to stabilize the weak spots before polishing? It holds up thru months in a tumbler...maybe it would help with this process...I enjoy your videos!
