I decided to try bevel cutting the "fossil" pattern by Steve Good. 

Then I decided to take it up a notch. Instead of clear coating or staining I sprayed it with "stone" paint to give it more of a look of being excavated from rock.

I like it !

Really cool!

[preprius]

yep, 

Looks like like you took the age up a few notches.

Using the stone paint also gives you the option of cutting the fossil separately and gluing it to the backer if you don’t want to bevel cut it.  It (the paint) will cover up the fact that it’s glued onto the surface and still give the illusion of "coming out of" the background.

That is really different and a great idea using the stone paint! Lot easier than digging one up out of the earth!

Very nice!
The stone paint sure makes a difference from the baltic birch cutting.

God Bless! Spirithorse
