Prepping a gastropod

Hi everyone. I found this concretion on a river bar the other weekend and the first photo shows what it looked like at that point. There was some shell on the negitive side of the rock, so I cut off all the excess rock and glued the piece with shell on it back onto the positive side. Then it was just a matter of scribing and sanding (not the shell though) till done. Fossilcrab has already asked me if i was going to take off some more of the rock to give it more of a 3-D apearence, and now that I look at it again, he is absolutly right. So I guess its still not done. Enjoy anyway though. Rb
