De ammonieten uit Engeland die inmiddels zijn geprepareerd. Helaas is niet elke ammoniet mooi tot het midden bewaard gebleven. Altijd weer een verrassing wat er tevoorschijn komt 😄 #ammonieten #Engeland #yorkshire #fossilfriday #fossils #fossilprep

This Devonian osteostracan (a type of jawless fish). This one was prepared from the underside and you can see its little eyes from the inside.

The best part was people asking if I can create a workshop on how to clean fossils & make a podcast 😭 It’s amazing to see the outpouring support from guests, especially when they stay and hang for hours with you!
