Fossil Preparation
| I provide full preparatory services with several air
scribes from the smallest to the biggest as well as air abrasive;
most services are $25/hr. Most fossils require some stabilization or repair of broken parts,
but I do not polish fossils. It is important to tell
me what you expect the fossil to look like; do you want it completely
removed from the matrix or will it be a display piece to sit on a shelf. I need to know if you are you looking for anything specific, for example are you trying to determine a specific feature of an fossil. If you only have a partial fossil positive and a negative I can combine the fossil positive with cast of the negative. |
