These are my finds from a nice sample of sandy micro matrix from the Post Oak Creek in Sherman, TX.
There are many fossils of sawfish to be found at the micro level. I very much enjoyed picking these as I find them as aesthetically pleasing as the denticles that I love to collect.
I have included a few of the more interesting bones some of which are probably of Pleistocene origin.
Any corrections are welcomed.

Hi Jaybot, i would usually go up as far as 1000 but some are good enough at 500-800 , after engraver prep i use a dremel stylus with diamond bits to smooth it all out leaving sanding a lot quicker and easier , on finish i spray a thin coat of non yellowing UV resistant semi matte polyurethane to seal and protect the fossil and surrounding matrix

Curious, how high of a grit do you polish the rock? Do you put a clear coating of some sort over it? Thanks in advance, you are very skilled at prepping with the engraver; which is what I use as well.

Yes — and will be upgrading to one of their air scribes in a few months when they get through the back orders.

They are gorgeous — I got to collect 3 days there this summer, and we came back loaded. Really fortunate! Prepping in this way is new to me, so those were my very first 3 prepped by engraving. Going to use the gallery to document the full collection, and my prep arc. Should just get better from here.
