March Madness

After chasing the wee little folks(leprechauns) out of my garge and cleaning up their mess. I found this large plate with a shadow that called out to be discovered.

I tooled off the matrix in sections. Exposing the head and mouth first then the body and the tail.

That matrix and the fish were cooperative and didn't flake away.

Now we can cut the matrix down to suit the size of the fish. It looks like 11x16 inches will house this twelve and half inch fossil fish. Now every thing is ready for the final touches and sealing.
With luck like this I must be part Irish.
