Help with prep

Recommended Posts

I had a fossil piece was trying to prep and clean up. I've been having a problem when trying to cleanup some fossil. When go to brush off the dust bits, its just smearing on the fossil. Then fills the groves and after I can't seem to get it clean out. Not sure why its doing that, the brush is dry and the matrix is dry. Brushing a bit with old toothbrush doesn't seem to do anything to help.

 

In the photo all that matrix bits on top of fossil, is in grove like areas and can't seem get it out.  Any help would be great.

Maybe this is a silly question, but have you tried soap and water? I'm also curious to hear what kind of fossil this is.
