 Basically, the Desert Museum''s Comco Micro Blaster (see supplier''s address elsewhere) is a precision sandblasting unit that emits abrasive particles at about 1,000 feet per second. Like an air scribe, it operates with compressed air (needing a 90 psi compressor or bottled air), an enclosed work chamber, and a dust collector to keep the lab free of air contaminants. Having dry air available is extremely important for any miniature sandblasting tool because damp grits tend to cake and clog the unit''s tiny jets. In-line air desiccant filters are a necessity, even in normally very dry Arizona. At the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum''s paleontology lab, the air scribe has become the workhorse of fossil preparation. The discovery of a large sauropod dinosaur in the highly indurated sandstones of the Mid-Cretaceous Turney Ranch Formation southeast of the museum posed numerous technical problems for our lab staff. Most troubling was the removal of vast amounts of sedimentary rock, which was both very tough and firmly cemented by silica to the softer, calcite-replaced bones. Experimenting with a number of hand tools, grinders, hardware-store engravers, and rotary devices, we happened upon a Chicago Pneumatic Air Scribe (see supplier''s address on page 421), and it has since become our primary lab tool on this project. We now have five Chicago air scribes, and progress on our dinosaur has been extraordinary. One large and complex midback vertebra, which had been crushed during fossilization, took seven months to prepare with the scribe, but it was in the middle of a 150-pound block of sandstone. Not only was museum preparator Yolaikia Sciole able to remove this complex and fragile vertebra without damage, but ultimately it was prepared from the inside out, exposing most of the internal bone structures, including arterial and nerve canals and never-before-seen pneumatic structures that lightened the bone in life. Most of the bones in this vertebra are no more than 0.25-inch thick and are replaced by easily cleaved, fragile calcite. The air scribe, and a light touch by the preparator, did the trick. The Chicago Pneumatic Air Scribe is a bit noisy and also produces quite a bit of dust and grit as it disintegrates the rock matrix, making both a dust mask and ear protectors necessary when the unit is in use outside a dust-collecting chamber. A silencer that fits snugly around the hand-held unit is not available from the manufacturers but can easily be made with a few common household tools. By cutting a piece of metal tubing to the length of the air scribe''s handpiece and notching one end so that it can be crimped to conform to the tapered bit end of the tool, a very simple noise insulator is produced. A foam rubber plug inserted in the bit end forms a snug fit. The only disadvantage to this noise protection is that the natural stream of air emitted from the tool end is blocked, and dust is not readily blown off the working surface. Likely some innovative tinkerer will soon solve this problem. Simple ear plugs or muffs are adequate to help provide hearing protection. Another minor problem with the air scribes is the absolute necessity of lubrication. Producing an effective reciprocal motion to any tool involves very complex valves and close-fitting parts. This is especially true when the tool is designed to be very small. Depending on the duration of use, an air scribe must be oiled from once to several times per day. This involves shutting down the system, dismantling the air supply, and inserting several drops of high-quality air-tool oil. In-line oiling systems are available that can make this process far simpler. Additionally, regularly flushing the unit with oil will eliminate microscopic particles of metal and grit and will greatly extend the life of your air scribe.
