Animal release with a Makita?

[DJNY]

Found this, and a few other, ammonite during my Nepal backpack trip.

I want to release the ammonite from the stone. Is it possible with simple tools?

I got a Makita and some other stuff (no dremel). Which adapter(s) would you recommend me for this endeavor?

Thanks

This guy wants to get one out of limestone bedrock, but some of the methods might prove useful?

Careful though... that's really neat!

i love ammonites!

a lot of fossil preppers will use little ultrasonic drills (like what dentists use) to separate the fossil from the matrix.

nice find!
