Fossil refers to the remains of paleontology excavated from underground or other places. After a series of work such as preservation, processing and display, it has become an important material for people to learn paleontology. However, after a long period of natural erosion, these fossils tend to be worn and broken, and need to be repaired at this time.
In the process of restoring fossils, it is usually necessary to use a variety of tools for different operations. For example, when separating rocks from fossils, it is necessary to use acid-base solutions, and when removing residual sediments, it is necessary to use tools such as mechanical strippers and bone brushes. For example, when splicing fossils again, it is necessary to use special adhesives and microscopes for high-precision operation. This maintenance process requires the use of professional tools.
In the actual restoration process, it is undoubtedly extremely rare if the whole fossil maintenance process can be completed with only one tool. On the contrary, a process of fossil restoration often takes many hours or even days and needs a complete toolbox to cooperate. So it is wrong to say that there is no need to change tools in the process of fossil restoration.
Precautions:
1. Keep clean: keep the room clean during the restoration process to avoid dust from entering the damaged parts of fossils.
2. Use appropriate tools: according to different damage conditions, select appropriate tools for repair, such as micro electric sander and bone pen.
3. Determine the nature of the fossil: Before the fossil is restored, it is necessary to determine the material, fragility and damage degree of the fossil in order to apply the correct restoration method.
4. Ensure the integrity of fossils: in the process of processing fossils, we should keep the original state as much as possible, and we should not artificially modify the shape of fossils or lose their original appearance.
5. Record detailed information: Each fossil restoration needs to record detailed information, such as time, tools, operation steps, restoration effect, images and descriptions, so as to facilitate the management and maintenance of fossils in the future.
