Fossil corals: Untreated corals

When one finds fossilised corals, sometimes they look soiled and crusted but other times they are so marvelous just as they are alive!
Fossils usually must be cleaned and this is a little delicate.
The next two fossil-corals, that I have already put for sale in Ebay, are not treated at all, simply washed using only water and a brush.
Enjoy the pictures :

You Might Be A Fossil Hunter if...

-if you are not able to sit still at the beach long enough

to watch a sunset.

-if you think it's cool that the Pterosaurs escaped from

the island in the third Jurassic Park movie.

-if you can touch coprolite without cringing.

-if you think of 10,000 years as a short span of time.

-if you have brought home a piece of  rock(or cement) just in case it was a fossil.
