Extract
Hand-held mechanical tools used in paleontology range from Jackhammers to high speed grinders. They operate by impact or rotary motion and are powered by air, gasoline, or electricity. These labor-saving devices are used in addition to, not as replacements for, hand tools such as awls, pin vices, chisels, and picks for the collection of and the removal of matrix from fossils.
