Here’s a fun one: Fair cast, slated for next display prep. Has no markings or provenance. Orbital looks too large for Amphicyon to me. Seems a bit short for Ursa. Zygomatic seems to heavy for P. leo spelaea. Suspect Felis atrox given the provenance of other casts in the collection here. However the teeth scream hyena to me... Going to be fun repairing the mold mismatch and heavy seam from casting...

I'm a fairly novice preparator and I was wondering if some of you more experienced folks could help me out a bit. I am working on a dipleura that unfortunately broke apart upon extraction. Some fragments of the pygidium were lost. I have the imprint and was considering casting the missing parts in plaster or something ideally reversible. My goal is to turn this fossil into a nice display piece. There are also some large voids in the matrix I would like to fill in. I've never done anything of this sort to a fossil before and I was hoping for some guidance on materials, techniques, etc. I have attached a couple of photos of the areas I would like to repair.
