My son loves these. Your narration is great, clear and easy to follow, and doing small bites of content like this is very engaging for him.
Keep up the great work!

Love this! Does it ever hurt your back to be hunched over the fossil like that?

Just looked at how long ago this was uploaded… a skull from my favorite animal was being uncovered and prepared during my birthday! 🥰

Question when you use the screwdriver as a chisel how do you not hit the bone and what happens if you do? Does it just lose a chunk of bone?

[@fossilexcavators1927]

The bone along the side of the skull that I was scraping is very solid, a screwdriver or pick tool will not break it apart into pieces. The bone is solid rock, unlike the sediment on top of the bone. When the sediment is soft sand it's easier to discern it from bone.

Do you ever get nervous when taking the plaster off? I sure was! 🫣😂
