New Members Signor Nicole Posted June 19 New Members Share Posted June 19 Good day. My name is Nicole and am looking for help to find a place in the world who fixes and/or cuts Ammonites in 2 halves. The thing is, I bought my husband, who is a natural science teacher, a beautiful Ammonite Fossil. Only at home I realised someone must have dropped it, because it has a crack on its shell. I don't want to take it back to the shop because apart from the small crack it's beautiful. I would also love to cut it in 2 halves to see the chambers inside. Is there please a place in the world where I can mail the Ammonite, and they can somehow fix and cut it in halves? I am based in Europe but will accept whatever is available. Thanks a ton Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 thats a really beautyful one. To cut it into two halfes seems to be a good idea, looks like that you will get two great halfes! You need one with a thin blade to cut it and a little bit experience. Where are you based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Cianoacrylate, thin stuff, has great wicking powers and would do a good job of taking care of that crack and also make the spot where it hit kinda disappear. Just an idea RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Signor Nicole Posted June 19 Author New Members Share Posted June 19 (edited) In case I wasn't clear (and sorry if I wasn't)I have zero experience in cutting fossils and I would probably end up harming myself trying to do so, and make a mess. So I need a proper person who does this. The crack on the shell maybe I could try the Cianoacrylate like RJB (thanks)said, but it's probably an even better idea if someone else takes care of this too. I am based in Europe (Italy).
