Depends on the specimen and how much rock to get through. A small one like this I would just glue (really I should have my superglue on the beach with me)
@@fossiliferous I wish I had a backlog! I went out today on the holderness for the 1st time since May and I found 2 quite interesting ones (Harpoceras?) + (belemnite phragmacone with probably Eleganticeras) and a double Dac nodule and a small Dac pyrite nodule. and someone asked if I was the Yorkshire fossil hunter lol. I’m excited to get them prepped. Had a good day
Wow! Amazing haul. You had quite a dac-day didn't you! I bet that bag was a bit heavy too. 😁👍
Yes plenty dacs. Nice to find some grey shales nodules too.
@@fossiliferous yeah! And that Pleuro-nodule could be a reallly nice find. I'd love to see that one prepped out. :D
Awesome finds, you have quite a collection of ammonites.
Thanks 👍
Some great ammonite finds there lovely job
Thanks!
Nice haul Matt ❤
Thanks
had a few bits of jet alot of years ago there at port dock
I just don't have my eye in for jet
When you say 'glue and prep' where a bit of the positive is on the negative; do you prep as much as you can before gluing, or glue ASAP?

Nice few finds matt,his there any weed washed in or isit all sand
No weed at mulgrave that I could see. Sandy in places, but quite a lot of it has been stripped back to the scar
Semicelatum are my favourite dacs. Can’t wait to see the pleuro
Its added to the prep backlog lol.
@@fossiliferous you’ll never get down that prep backlog if you keep finding so many
@Tony-tt3sc that's the problem lol. Expect to see it in about 12 months

Some lovely finds! Those rough seas are doing their job
They are. I think there will be some good finds this weekend
@fossiliferous I hope so and I'm really hoping I get a couple. Won't be going to port Mulgrave though
@@annetalbot9151 it was very slippy on that rope
@fossiliferous it looked it! Glad you made it down and up OK, especially with all your finds
So It appears you do not keep the concave half of the nodule, yes?
I don't tend to keep the negatives unless it's a nice pos neg split. However I do trade them to others that have a use for them
Can we have a tour of you collection please?
I've got some more stuff to come back from prep which will be a good time to do one. I was thinking of doing a new year round up.
@@fossiliferous Sounds good 👍
