Interesting way of displaying an oreodont.
fossilhunter21 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi, everyone. Just thought I would share with everyone this thing I just made to display my oreodont skull nicer. I had been thinking of ways that I could do it, and decided this would work the best for me. To make the insert, I had to put saran wrap around both halves of the skull. Then, using apoxie sculpt, I sculpted the insert to the the shape of the skull. This took a lot of patience, and a lot of time... I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it done before it dried. The reason for the weird shape in the matrix of the jaw is to help keep the insert in place. I am not super happy with the green color, but it still looks pretty good, at least to me. I am also not sure happy with the placement... Hope you enjoy! Cheers and Shalom, -Micah- 7 replies

Hi everyone, I have just purchased an Oreodont skull. I have no experience with these. I assume this is genuine, but I don't know much about what they are supposed to look like, so I'm just hoping for some expertise from people who know more than I do. This one seems to have a lot of matrix that needs to be removed, but I certainly wouldn't want to mess anything up with it being unskilled with that kind of work. It looks like at least part of the bottom jaw is still in the matrix, you can see a large bone sticking out in a couple of places. What do you guys think?
