I found an absolutely stunning 60 lb slab of limestone filled with criniods an brachiopods. I usually use sulfuric acid to free or clean up my fossils, but I don't want to damage this one. Thanks ray

Thanks, now how do I make the fossils look a little more distinct. I like sulfuric acid, but Im not sure on this one. Thanks Ray

I would stay away from the acids on this one.
If you have an air eraser (miniature sand blaster)
You will probably be able to use some baking soda as an abrasive and remove enough of the matrix to enhance the fossils without doing harm.

I would try it on the back side before I went and did anything on the front.
kind of test and perfect, before you tear it up by accident.

I cleaned it up a little. In 10 hours it will bring a whopping 2.00 dollars on eBay. I haven't had a lot of luck with eBay lately. Thanks Ray P.S. look at today's finds. I'm psyched.
