Hello! I'm a new member with a question. I hope it's ok for me to ask this question and I hope it's according to all the rules I've been a fan of the forum for a while, but just mainly browsed a bit, but now I've got a bit of a problem... I'm basically a giant newbie when it comes to this, so please treat me like one (I hope you don't mind). So I've always had a very big fascination for the woolly rhinoceros. It's been a dream for me to own a rhino skull one day, so I had an opportunity recently and decided to go for it. I bought a damaged skull, originally from russia, which still looked pretty good. It had a few tooth left, the underside was a bit busted up, but the top and one side still looked spectacular. The price seemed very doable as well, for such a piece. A few weeks later it arrived and needless to say, I was pretty bummed to see that the front had broken off, the three remaining teeth were loose and the underside was a total mess. There's a few large cracks, that make the piece very delicate to transport... So... There's a few things I'd like to do, but I really haven't a clue where to start (I know, you might call me foolish, but the skull is in far worse shape then before it got shipped). - I'd like to re-attach the front nose piece (and maybe a few of the smaller pieces, but those really aren't a priority to me) - I'd like to fill/strenghten those large cracks - I'd maybe like to put those three teeth back in place That's about it, unless there's other stuff that needs to be done, that I don't know off. I never had any plans to really restore this piece. I actually like that it isn't complete, I though it had it's charm. But at the moment, it's just so fragile and sadly it's a bit in pieces :/ Also, don't mind the duct tape, it's all I had close to me when I unpacked haha. Sooo, I've got myself a little project here, but I'm looking forward to working on this. Any help would be extremely welcome. Again, please treat me like I know nothing on the subject. Many thanks! D

Hi, Can anybody offer me a suggestion on how to get a display stand built for my Woolly Mammoth Tusk? I used to live in Alaska. Before I left, I purchased a Tusk as a memento. Dimensions are roughly 38.5 lbs and 7.5' - 8'. It's pretty solid/stable, not polished, and I believe coated in Elmers Glue. I'm looking to get a stand made to display it. Specifically, one that supports it and doesn't apply a stress that could damage the Tusk over time. Does anybody have a recommendation on who I can contact to get a stand?

Differences between woolly mammoth skull and elephant skulls
SimpleCollector100 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I see clear differences between woolly rhino and today's rhinos but I am not sure it is as clear when looking at mammoth skulls vs modern elephant skulls? Maybe someone that is pretty experienced would help me spot the difference. I am looking at jaws & other bones for sale and I would not want to buy modern elephant bones. Thanks -
Looking for a good Woolly Rhino cave painting image
aplomado posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I am looking for an attractive woolly rhino cave painting image, either a diagram or photograph. I want to print it 8x10 so it should have decent resolution, and I need to be free to legally reproduce it for personal use. I would like to use it for a fossil display background. Can anyone help? I already found the one below, but would like a better one if possible. -
Greetings I found this mammoth tusk but the tip broke and was wondering if there was a good bonding agent I could buy from the store? Any advice towards a preservative would be appreciated as well. Thanks

Help With Identifying Mammoth Tooth
Janetzillah posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there, I work in an antiques store and we get in a huge variety of unusual items and sometimes, something comes in that we need some help with. I have attached pictures of what is apparently a baby woolly mammoth's tooth. I have never personally seen one before so I would never be able to tell a real one from a replica. I am a new member and hope that someone would be able to provide some information. Many thanks, Janet -

Here's the latest on molecular biology / biotechnology advances and our furry friend, the Woolly Mammoth. Unlike most dinosaur fossils, Woolly Mammoth remains are often found in frozen, less-deteriorated states in Siberia; and often contain viable proteins such as collagen, from which genetic sequences can be produced.
