Preparation of a 51.98-million-year-old crocodile.

Hello everyone, this video is an edited version of parts 1 2 and 3 I took out as many glitches pauses and camera shakes as I could. I also synced the speed for a more fluid and watchable experience. This is parts one two and three put into one video.

Wonderful work, and so satisfying to watch!

I don't think people quite understand how meticulously tedious separating the fossil from the matrix is.
It requires tremendous patience and experience.
A labor of love and truly admirable!

How likely is it that the tools will damage the fossils? I appears that the fossils are far harder than the surrounding rock.

It was a great addition to include images of the site at the end of the video. Would love to see more of that.

That's interesting to see this fossil appear and we can see what this animal looked like when it was fossilised in Noah's flood roughly 4,400 years ago.
