  Fossil Preparation Pen. Model ST
      Pneumatic air operation   

The ST Fossil Preparation Pen is produced in our production workshop to specifications that we have evolved over years of using these pens in our fossil preparation workshop.

Fossil preparation puts very specific demands on tools subjecting them to totally different stresses than engraving etching and the like. This pen is considerably more refined with a superior Fossil preparation performance quite different to a basic standard air engraver despite retaining a similar outward appearance.

The ST Fossil Preparation Pen is both quiet, smooth and easy to use making it an ideal first or one only pen. Its very high stroke rate and its variable air flow lending itself to both fast matrix removal and the finest detailed work making it one of our most versatile pens.

  • Airstream over the tip
  • This pen can operate smoothly fom 30PSI(2bar) to 90PSI(6bar) due to our precise tuning.
  • HIgh Quality long life Stylus made from our optimum Fossil grade Tungsten carbide

Some particularly suitable applications.

Laminated bed fossils. ie Green River Fish Plates.
Phosphatic and limestone nodules. Ie London clay nodules.
Magnified / Microscope work. Ie fine vertebrates Trilobites

Experienced users will always confirm how powerful, flexible and usable specifically designed fossil prep tools are in comparison to a basic air or electric engraver
