If you are interested in Palentology, Stegron, you might know the answer to this question ... so if I may ask: an exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History claims that a toothbrush is sometimes used to clean or brush the dirt away from fossils, rather than using a shovel or something. Is this true, or an exaggeration on their part?
I'm sorry if it seems a bit "out of the blue", but I've been wanting to confirm or disprove that piece of information since I was eight years old.
