 Fossil preparation to remove the matrix surrounding an embedded fossil is a popular application for micro-abrasive blasting. Substantial amounts of material need to be removed to expose the fossil, and damage to the fossil must be avoided. Microblasting or air abrasive equipment can be used for cleaning fossils because it provides the precision required to prevent harm to the specimen.
Comco’s micro-abrasive blasters has been used by renowned museums on the preparation of Tyrannosaurus rex fossils as well as by artisans and hobbyists cleaning trilobites, crinoids, ammonites and other fossils.
