As a geology student we would always carry around a laminated Grain Size Indicator to help easily correctly identify...grain sizes - Mudstone is more a of a category which can be split into Siltstone and Claystone, which claystone being the finest (grains are unidentifiable with hand lens, but siltstone can only just be detected). Also another brilliant way geologists use to detect difference in grain size is taste. We can easily distinguish the difference between clays and silts with out tongue (we just love rocks that much) :D

Bro I'm not even a geologist, but I (15-18 years old) took a land judging class in my high-schools FFA for 3 years. I was the best at our school and 3rd best in our county 😁 11th in the state. I know exactly what you mean by taste, that's how I became so good. My grandpa taught me the trick of tasting the soil. I could feel and taste the amounts of loam, clay, and sand were in the soil, at the end of the day I'd have it narrowed down within -/+ 2-3%. Now I'm 23, and I'm more of a amateur archeologist I only search for and collect native American and ancient human artifacts. I've been interested in archeology/paleontology since I found my first crinoid fossil at 7 years old.

What solvent do you use for your paraloid and what concentration? I use ratio of 1:10 by weight with Acetone and have had good luck as a clear coat on contemporary skulls to prevent moisture cracking (taxidermy small game animals mostly). I would like to use it as a glue for securing teeth and repairing damaged bones, but I find that large bubbles form at much higher concentrations (2:10 or 3:10) when the solution is too viscous. The acetone is so harsh as well. I wear a respirator of course, but I wonder if there is a friendlier solvent that works just as well. What is your experience using it? Thanks much!

@MamlamboFossils

Жыл бұрын

I start off with a very thin concentration and then add a few more beads if it's not thick enough, I have a thin, medium and thick jar of it and then use it depending on what I need. I've heard that isopropyl alcohol might work but never tried it. It's best you check with a conservator as they will have knowledge about working on modern bones.

It looks promising, whatever it is!

Michigan native here, its pronounced peh-TAH-ski

I have learned much from your videos. Thank you for producing them. I have recently found a meter round mudstone ball with a layer below that was another sedimentary rock. The mudstone had dried quickly in the sun and cracked all over. I contemplated doing some destructive exposing to see what was inside,it was so cool I decided to leave it. Well someone was watching me apparently and they broke it by smashing it with a large rock. There's half a turtle shell and a tooth that are split in two that I can see. Now I need to remove it before it's destroyed more. I'm just getting started with fossils and lack the experience to get the concreation into transportable pieces. Is there a way to break it at particular points as to not ruin more? Or is it a matter of putting the pieces back together with epoxy? I have cold steel chisels but I feel that will be a very long process as the two large pieces are 3/4 the mass split in two.

Consolidant strengthens the fossil by seeping into all the cracks and leaving behind like a plastic. It also protects the bone from the acid.

Hahaha, I can't believe that people think you fake this. I worked in the concrete industry for 12 years, I am technically trained in concrete (sad but true), when you extract fossils, crabs etc you can tell (well I can at least), that is not concrete or any other cemetitious type product. Doesn't even look like any cemetitious type product. The other thing is you can see how hard the material is. No concrete or any other cemetitious product can be made anywhere near as hard as stone.
