      Lol it was great to meet you the other week, we thought you were the farmer at first 🫣🤣🤣
      Thank you for watching, these heteromorphs are a real love of mine and a real pain to prep 😬
      I’ll be doing a video of prepping some illminster finds soon.
      What tools do you use to prep?

      Nice, looking forward to see you prep some Ilminster stuff😀
      I'm just using a Zoic Chicago for my prepping atm, but I'm thinking about getting a dremel multitool for doing the odd bit of sanding cutting and tidying up. @@WightFossilTours

    .Incredible the knowledge you have to identify the rock that an Ammonite will have protected. The size of this is unbelievable. Blessings on your way my friend.

    Hello my dear friend. Unfortunately, the microraptor cannot be bought in my country. I would be grateful for the opportunity to watch the video of it in disassembled form, so that I can make it myself. Or, if possible, a drawing with dimensions.

      I’ve been going through some hard times myself recently, health wise. But I’ve moved to a new place that will hopefully give me a better chance of recovering. Life is crazy sometimes, eh? Most of the time, actually.
