This is one of my favourite fossil preps so far! It was really awesome working on this rare late-Miocene Pliocene fossil turtle and just goes to show that you never know what you will find!

The next step is to get it CT scanned and then into a public collection (museum) so that it can be studied further.

Total time to prep it was around 120 hours air scribe work and roughly 30 - 35 acid cycles.
