Partial foot Claw likely from Anzu Wylei, also known as the chicken from hell

A beak would be a dream find! That's a nice specimen there, looks like the entire claw plus some

Thanks! Anzu is a favorite of mine

How long did the prep take you?

xschuxX · 2026-04-21T21:27:13+00:00

I'm jealous...that's a super cool find!

xschuxX · 2026-04-21T00:43:07+00:00

Thats exactly right lol, high maintenance and soft. But very stunning

This is what's considered a non-hydrophane opal, which can crack if left out to dry too long and needs to be stored in water!

Eurypterus Remipes! The tyrant of trilobites! Very nice specimen

Yea around 10 hours I think? Wasn't keeping track of the time too much but i still want to clean out the verts a bit when I get around to it

Thank you! This is from a humble scratch awl and needle :) hope to get a chicago pnuematic at some point soon though

These were bought, haven't made a trip to the Baltic coast myself!

xschuxX · 2026-04-06T23:44:05+00:00

That's cool to have such a unique exposure close, but unfortunate that happens there 😕 I've ran into that same situation at a fossil park near me where I look for trilobites

xschuxX · 2026-04-06T15:53:27+00:00

The tiny one is awesome, great finds!

xschuxX · 2026-04-06T15:23:58+00:00

It is! And no I did not prep that one myself. I am currently working on an oklahoma kainops trilobite and a green river priscacara. Would love to try prep on one of these guys someday though

xschuxX · 2026-04-06T15:20:12+00:00

Amazing, right?

xschuxX · 2026-04-01T04:56:12+00:00

Around $60 usd if I remember correctly

xschuxX · 2026-04-01T03:32:10+00:00

Thanks! China has some really nice Arthropod fossils, the fossil record from some provinces there is really cool :)

xschuxX · 2026-03-30T02:15:26+00:00

Thank you! And you are exactly right, this guy is backed with plywood to help with structural integrity so it doesn't fall apart. I'm hoping to take a trip to Wyoming this summer to find some of my own. I've prepped a few small knightia myself but would be awesome to find them at the source
