We are the only facility in the UK offering ultrasonic fossil preparation to the public.
This preparation uses a specialised ultrasonic scribe that emits high frequency sound waves at a very low, near undetectable level to gently remove geological matrix surrounding the fossil(s). Our ultrasonic prep service is predominantly for fragile fossils for which pneumatic scribes would risk damage to the specimen.
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.
