Preparation Of A Museum Quality Fossil(3 Year Project)

Описание: Here is @ Mike Harrison fossils with his "Jewellers Loupe" on with his giant “Jurassic Jigsaw he is working on. He has taken 3 years finding and preparing this so far. “You can see a lovely Crinoid Cup, there on his Jurassic Coast find - that Mike made recently. He has worked ever so hard to put a lot of the Crinoid fragments back together again. This film is another update of his work in progress ! The other film 🎥 I made of Mike finding this specimen I’ve included in this YouTube video as follows - Mike Harrison has found the most wonderful crinoid fossil you could ever imagine. Here is just a fragment of what he has been digging up, in a mud slip. The area he is digging in and working on ,is like “soft cream cheese.” He has got special permission to do that work by the National Trust . Mike has another large fossil he found on Black Ven, that is the skull of an Ichthyosaur- in the Lyme Regis Museum. We will bring you more film on YouTube of this crinoid specimen, when its fully developed.The best tools are your eyes when finding fossils. When preparing fossils Mike uses a lot of concentrated effort. He has many years experience handling the sharp implements he uses, to help him prepare the fossils. I recommend wearing safety glasses and sturdy rubber gloves when hammering the right little rocks. Remember the cliffs are dangerous and liable to fall suddenly and without warning. Keep away from the dangerous cliffs, the best fossils are washed out onto the beaches at low tide, by the sea's actions. Look out for the slippery seaweed on the ledges and rocks. I offer fossil walks along the Jurassic Coast on the following website, so feel free to take a look at the website I made, with our online fossil walks ——————http://www.lymeregisfossilwalks.com There is a fossil collecting code of conduct in place along the Jurassic Coast.#fossilhunter#fossils#crinoid
