My first golden fossil prep [~6 million year old pyritized crab]
1 year ago
A few months ago I came across this iron pyrite crab with the thinnest layer of rock covering it. I was going to prep it that same weekend but on the way back I stumbled across my penguin fossil, so this crab was put on the back burner!
I find pyritized fossils tricky to prep as they have a tendency to be pretty brittle.
