Ok so I was thinking of using resin to coat a skull I have in my collection. Its rather pricey so I wanted to make sure I could protect it from any further damage. The skull appears to be coated with something already since I see a shiny texture in some areas, so should i bother using a resin on it as well ??

Hi there! I'm hoping you can help me narrow down what animal this skull might be. Most likely from the California area. Thanks in advance!

Where to buy the best fossil replicas?
SimpleCollector100 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I am looking to buy replicas for some fossils. I want them to look great but I am unsure of who sales high quality replicas? Are these guys considered good? https://www.dinosaurcorporation.com/hoskre.html I know bone clones is great for animal skulls, etc but is there a similar seller of fossils? Ideally I would want to buy a sabertooth cat skull that was real but I am not sure how to spot the real thing anyway... (unless it was real bone). Thank you -
I posted a topic - Middle Devonian of Livingston County New York - recently and decided to include the other shelves in the display case.

Im sure there will be questions for me. Thanks, Mikeymig

Hi, there. I am seeking for help on an ongoing research. You see, there is two fossil sites in wich I work as a graduate student. We are developing a new method to identify isolated Bison teeth using multivariate statistics. Until now we beign able to differentiate between two ecotypes, a large form and a small form. These are not sexual differences (we alrealy test them and find the sexual difference does not correspond with our findings). The help I need now is if you know someone or directly posess skulls of fossil North American fossil bisons with attached teeth. I only need to identify

The following data taken from Nowak's classic paper shows the difficulty of relying on size to identify fossils. Summary upper carnassial tooth length of canids: LP4 Canis dirus: 28.7 - 35.5 Canis lupus 22.2 - 30.5 Canis latrans 17.6 - 22.8 Canis familiaris 14.4 - 22.7 Canis armbrusteri 26.6 - 29.5 Canis edwardi 24.0 Canis lepophagus 19.0 - 20.7 In some cases (the fossils) the sample is small. In others, (lupus and latrans) it is more than 1
