Hi, @Delwin-Glasner! Are you planning on cleaning off this specimen a little more? I feel like that may make IDing it easier.
Can’t clean any more, items are froze to it. The only i.d. part I could use is the edge. I have not tried a black-lite yet.
Any ideas of what chemicals I could soak it in?
@Cameron-Muskelly would probably have a little more insight than I would!
I wouldn’t soak it in any chemicals. The specimen seems have cracks. I would use water and glue. You could also mix water and glue together to stabilize the specimen. The fossils is an Echinoid (Sand Dollar). Possibly Periarchus sp.? I am to too sure without a locality/formation.
Thanks
@Cameron-Muskelly – it appears to be Eocene
It’s definitely Eocene. Possibly Upper Eocene (Pribolian Stage).
If you have dental tools I would use them too. Don’t pick too hard though.
