A Marine Fossil Project Options

[swizz]

I collected this in northern Colorado earlier this year from a layer that has always been productive for me.
It is a fairly good sized Ammonite and I believe more than 50% of it is there but still encased in layers. I haven't cleaned any of this piece yet nor tried to extract anything, this is how it came out of the earth.
I have a conundrum because.... the closer I look, the more little treasures I see protruding from the layers that are protecting the Ammonite. For example, if you zoom the first image and look at the upper right area... there's part of a small black tooth with it's jawbone/gumline exposed. There are also tubeworm or nymph fossils partially exposed. I want to see more of the Ammonite but it'll be a tricky extraction as these other tidbits are equally interesting.
I may start with just warm soapy water and a toothbrush.

I'll know better what it looks like after I give it a good scrubbin. If it looks good nuff I may just leave it!
Unfortunately I broke my textile gun a couple years ago. I think that the proper tool would be various sizes of needle guns but I don't have that fancy stuff. I want to at least get that tooth out of there somehow. That's rare.... I've never found one anywhere near that area and would like to ID it out of extreme curiosity.
I also have another sample from that same layer which is much bigger. Maybe 2ft X 2ft and about 5 inches thick... well layered. No visible Ammonite on that one but maybe inside of it. It's outside under the snow now but I bet it has some interesting things in it also. I might get to that this winter too.
I gave Brandon and Erin a small layered piece from the same place when they were up at the CP outing. That may also have some cool stuff in it.
