acrocanthosaurus Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I found this enormous hexagonaria and it doesn't look too badly worn, so I would love better a method for cleaning it than digging at it with my dental picks. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Air abrasion would probably be your best bet, here.

tmaier Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I would start with some dish detergent in a bucket of water, and a soft toothbrush. Then try a mild vinegar solution and toothbrush. You can experiment with small sections of it first, to see if it is dissolving the features or not. EDIT: I'm surprised to see this coral wearing a digital type watch. They mostly prefer the analog style. Edited June 14, 2016 by tmaier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
