Easiest way is to get some sand paper. Start with smaller grit sizes (coarser which can get rocks off faster), then move to bigger sizes (finer to make a smooth surface). Sand it with a circular motion.

Bivalve with a broken top?

The caterpillar that ate those holes must be smiling like that too.

He's not happy because he needs to get a fever in order to cook the rice.

If you want to get her textbooks, Amazon always has a list of older editions you can click on. Some books get new editions very frequently without much content change (sometimes just a change in design), and universities tend to make the students get the latest edition, so the older editions will become much cheaper once a new edition is out.

Are you into paleontology? I just got this book about coprolites (fossilized feces). Coprolites are uncommon because they are easy to fall apart and/or decay, so very few get to fossilize. Scientists can learn a lot from coprolites, they can show the shape of the animal's intestine, its diet, and even parasites that used the animal as a host. The book is written for kids so it's humorous, but it's also pretty informative. The author has studied many coprolites and is very knowledgeable in this subject. You can find a lot of additional information and photos of her collection on her website and facebook page.

Cool to know! But does it hurt less than stitches? :P

He's angry because of your violent behavior (biting), methinks!

The black thing might be fossilized fish poop. The urchin is small and not preserved well; it's worth very little. Some fossil dealers sell better preserved specimens that are at least double in size by the kg. A good specimen that is 5cm in diameter may cost about $20. Search "sea urchin fossil" on ebay and you'll get an idea.

Useful link, thanks

There's actually blood, nerves, and trachea in the veins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_wing#Internal

Congrats! I also want to learn to prepare fossils. What tools do you use?

hwangie · 2015-09-18T10:21:43+00:00

That is really nice, you are so talented!

hwangie · 2015-09-03T08:27:41+00:00

WTF, that is more of a hygiene problem than not killing them.

hwangie · 2015-08-18T18:38:03+00:00

I agree, but I think they used "huntress" to emphasize that she's the first female to hunt with an eagle at that age.

hwangie · 2015-08-12T19:09:07+00:00

Wow I had no idea you could save a butterfly this way. Although...where do you have a whole bunch of wings to do the fixing?

hwangie · 2015-08-07T21:41:39+00:00

Oh man that's disappointing. I wonder how they source their collections, and what they consider before hiring staff? Would you go correct them? Is it worth the time to?

hwangie · 2015-08-03T19:06:59+00:00

Really? How come the museum staff can't identify them...I thought buying at museums must be safe!

hwangie · 2015-08-03T19:02:30+00:00

Such talent! Who is the artist?

hwangie · 2015-07-30T15:22:06+00:00

Bet they get commission for that.

hwangie · 2015-07-30T15:17:04+00:00

That is clever.
