CHEMICAL PREPARATION

Our Chemistry Lab is dedicated purely to chemical fossil preparation.

We predominantly use acid preparation techniques, with the acid depending on the composition of the geological matrix. We typically use Acetic or Formic acid. 

Akaline preparation techniques we offer are typically with Potassium hydroxide (KOH) or Rewoquat® (Ammonia).

We can combine our facilities with the digitisation department for access to CT scanning before preparing fragile fossil specimens if requested. 

We provide a Method Transcript (MT) as part of our service which is a written record of each technique used consecutively in preparing the fossil(s). 

Our prep services are priced at £25/hr + VAT  

Turnaround time is variable dependent on business work loads.

Typically 1 week for 'small' fossils to several months for 'large' fossils.
