      Thank you it is a stunning piece 🌀
      I still have one the same that I found years before and I still need to prep it 🙄
      Thankfully I redeemed myself and she was very happy 😊

  • @FamilyTravelandExcursions

    Very nice video, I learned so much about prep work. There's a place that I heard about in Texas that has a lot of them but it's hard to carry them up the river bank so people just leave them. It's 19hrs away so hopefully I'll make it there one day. Clicked the red button!!

      Those rivers in Texas look amazing and have very similar ammonites.
      We have another location where the ammonites are as big as car tyres, they can be fun when carrying back up the near vertical cliff 💪😬

      Believe it or not this is a relatively small ammonite compared to the monsters we have on the island.

      Pleuroceras is an ammonite I have been wanting to prep, I’ll see if I can buy a couple to do a prep video for you 💪😉
      Did you find your Pleuroceras in the UK?
      What sort of tools do you have??
      I think the best tools for prepping the Pleuroceras would be an engraver and rotary tool 🤔
