I've just finished prepping this juvenile plesiosaur bone cluster with nine separate bones in it. It took about three weeks of work which was about a week of manual prep and two weeks of acid prep. It was a very tricky prep as the rock was full of cracks which the acid kept getting into and there was a trace fossil on the back I wanted to keep. Its from the aristonectinae family of elasmosaurs and probably the third or fourth example from New Zealand. Full prep video is on my YouTube channel, link in my bio.
