All I want to know is how did the gastropod /rudist soup taste? Since you are ready to sacrifice some fossils you should try freeze/thaw just as an experiment.
Milton Dye lololol!! I wasn't brave enough to try the soup, maybe with some vegetables it could turn into a gurmet soup! :-) :-) I see your point, freezing fossils and then put then in boiling water could release then from matrix... or breaking then.... Well, that's an ideia for a future video. But I need to find some ugly fossils to sacrifice.:-)
Sandblaster, engraver or airpen. Small hammer and chisel. When I'm started, i also tried different techniques to clean, but only the "mechanical" way working. :I Great video! ;)
As always wonderful vid man! I've been fossil collecting for 15 years now and I've never boiled one of my fossils but have always wondered what would happen if I did. Now I don't have to wonder anymore! Haha For the inside of the coral you might try taking some dental picks and attempting to pick away at the mud inside of it. Dental picks make great fossil preparation tools I've found! They can get into small spaces (like the holes in your corals crest) and reveal minut details! Also I wanted to tell you that I'm going hunting for Hematite in my local River Gorge today! Hopefully I'll find some chunks of Rusty Red Rock full of tiny little Brachiopods! Take my friend! Best of luck in your next experiments and future fossiling endeavors! I can't wait to see how they all turn out! :)
@@zejurassico In Texas I have alot of flint. Some of the nodules, when they are broken ate beautiful because they are sparkly with thousands of small crystals. Laying out, they look like normal flint until the sun hits them just right and they are suddenly flashing, dazzling. After a few months, something black starts growing on them. It starts out as small black dots, like any mildew or mold. The problem is nothing I've foundkills it. It's an extremophile of some kind. If soaked, my not perfect so sacrifial, some in straight bleach, nope. Vinegar, nope. Done this in the direct sun when it's 102° on my shady rock porch. I've tried scraping, sanding. I can't get rid of it. I keep the "infected" ones well separated because it spreads. If you know or ever hear anything that would help, I would greatly appreciate the info.
Hummm... maybe it's some form of oxidation like rust, or because the shinning bits were expose to air.... Try to put some specimens in a close container like a jar or something alike with reduce exposure to air. I kind relate that to some rocks that have rich iron inside and as the time pass they turn brownish. I hope it helps, but this is just an idea.
ola amigo, i like your way, making a jacuzzi for cleaning fossils ,but i think sandblasting is the best way, with fine powder, that is what i believe ,
Frank aka Pangeaman Yes, of course. This was just a simple experiment to see what happen. I have and mini engraver and a dremer that I sometimes use. I have to buy a mini sandblaster....
Fun video I wonder if it would work on the clay in our soil lol. When I get a stove I am going to try it. If your wondering why I don't have a stove. I am living in a do it yourself diy house. Im working on insulation at the moment lol. My landloard feeds me lol. His wife is my caregiver.
Yes ... It would be an option. But sometimes cleaning it with a small brush does not remove all the dirt trapped in the matrix. I know that the experience is a little silly, but it was really just to see what happened if it got very clean or not. :-)

Ptr Tth Thanks! This idea was a little silly, but I never saw anyone showing what would happen if we boiled fossils... so I decide to try heheheh! :-)
Loved this! I enjoyed your experiment. Sometimes you just gotta wing it!
Thank you very much! Sometimes I have these crazy ideas but sometimes they work... hehehe! I'm very glad you liked it.😊

Thanks my friend. Great tips!! Glad that you liked this small experiment!! :-) Dont forget to tell if you find someting interesting and cool!! :-) :-)
Liked this! I love to see the process you do in cleaning these and making them pretty!
Thanks!! It was just an little experiment, hehehe!! :-)
i have done cooking too, ahhahaha , keep on going on with your good program, it is nice to see you cleaning,washing fossils, obrigado amigo
Frank aka Pangeaman Thanks my friend!!
Agitate the rock in white vinegar (5% acedic acid). I say "agitate" because the vinegar settles and becomes less affective after about 48 hours.
Nice tip! 😊🙏🐚🐚🐚
a long soak in lemon juice will dissolve the clay color layer
It is true. Some care is needed in the process.👍
Love the videos keep them coming man
Thanks!!
Try putting vinegar in the water..it's a slight acid.
Yessss... I have to try that. Thanks!!!
@@zejurassico if you use regular vinegar you buy at the store don't delute it as it is only 5 percent acid very weak.
Have you tried to merge it into hot water mixed with acid citric?
Thanks for your interesting And amazing videos😍
Thanks my friend!
it did work! at least the small pores at the bottom of the first fossil are cleaned:D
Good video. Very funny! P.S., you might want to add a little salt to the soup. :-)
Salt and a bit of pepper!! Lololol😊😊👍. Thanks for watching !😊⛏⛏🐚🙏
where are you located?
In Portugal. Thanks!! :-)
If anyone knows, what is the black stuff?
I belive they were marks made by sun burning the rock.

C'est une méthode très originale

Wow!!! 😍😍😍

Why not try using an old toothbrush and gently scrub
Yes ... It would be an option. But sometimes cleaning it with a small brush does not remove all the dirt trapped in the matrix. I know that the experience is a little silly, but it was really just to see what happened if it got very clean or not. :-)
try boiling it with baking soda
Great Idea!!! Thanks!!
get different solutions ...its call IRON OUT or CALCIUM OUT....works the best ....
So short :'(
José Jacobo Sorry, in the future I will try to do longer videos. This was just a simple experiment.
Nice try! Havagudun
Thanks!
