I've been looking for a content like this for ages, I'm so glad i've found your channel 😍 It's amazing to see your process, I'm learning a lot! And credits to you for explaining what you're doing and not only playing a silly song over the video. I would really like to see more of the technicallities of your work, and more closeups, so we could see, for example, the rock chipping to reveal a very beautiful tooth. That would be so satisfying! Keep your good work, and thank you for your content! ♥️

Thanks Elena for your feedback. That's really nice to hear. Yes, I'll do a few more close-ups next time and perhaps in slow-mo so you can see the rock chip away from the fossil.

Great question. Well although the initial rock looked very ugly, you could see large sections of bone running right through it and they had the shape of Ichthyosaur jaws. The gamble paid off!

Really nice prep again! I'm learning a lot from your excellent explanations! As to the species, if the teeth are smooth, it's a _Stenopterygius_ sp., as both _Ichthyosaurus_ spp. and most _Temnodontosaurus_ spp. have teeth with plicidentine enamel folds, while those _Temnodontosaurus_ species that do not have explicitly or clearly identifiable folds have much broader teeth and carinae...

Oh lovely I've recently been into paleontology and restorations. And this came up on my recommended. I would ask if you could consider lengthening your videos you have so much footage already it doesn't always need to be so sped up especially when most of the otters rock has been chipped away and a lot of viewers enjoy watching the reveal process in detail. A close up of your work would also be appreciated. 🥰

Hi again, now this is no doubt a dumb question, but the place this jaw/skull was found is there any chance that the rest of the jaw would be somewhere close or even near. I am just wondering about the chance of putting the whole jaw together. The young fellows from Yorkshire have been lucky over the last three years or so and found three adjoining pieces, as has the other young guy. Now this is just a “I wonder if you can do this” type of question as it would be great if it could be done, and one end looks reasonably newly broken. Anyway great video keep these coming, you are the man. Cheers from kangaroo land.

It's a great question Iain and the answer is absolutely yes. I've another complete Ichthyosaur skull which was found in 4 large pieces by 4 different collectors about 20 years ago - It's now all back together. I didn't personally find the one above but I'm sure the other parts of the skull would have been there as the breaks were clean. They've either been washed away by the sea, still in the cliff or picked up by other collectors (as they would have been pretty obvious on the beach given the size). The latter is the most obvious and a few people have already been in touch putting suggestions forward for the missing parts. There's a few good candidates out there but it's only when you get them next to each other do you see whether they really match up!

@@PalaeoArt Do you have a photo of the skull that was found by the four collectors. As bad as this sounds hearing that there may be a chance to find the missing pieces of the latest skull, really makes your channel a must watch. Looking forward to more of your work. Cheers from the land of very nasty snakes.

Will you be able to go back and remove more matrix afther paraloid d72 is applied?. I read acetone is used to soften the matrix and in this case is used to bond fossil particles when combined with paraloid b72.
