A friend of mine in Aarhus, Denmark (who isn't on here) just received a Hadrosaur long bone from a dealer in the US; the good news is that it's awesome, the bad news is that it's broken. Alas. I've seen photos; it looks like a clean break along a previously-repaired line. He's not mad, just disappointed, as would I be. Anyone here on the forums we can send him to for a repair? My guess is that it'll be some PB100, a bit of paint, and possibly some Jurassic gel. He's of course willing to compensate for the service, and the dealer has said that they'll help out as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a few pleistocene bones and large shell fragments that are fractured, and I'm unclear on the best way to repair them. I've read many topics on the forum about the importance of consolidation and materials to use, and I have materials on order, so I should be able to get started soon. But I'm a little unclear on the process if the bone is in two or three pieces. If you have a completely broken bone, should you consolidate the broken pieces separately first (i.e. in an acetone/butvar mix), then glue them back together with something like CA glue? Or would the consolidant make it harder to piece and glue them back together after they dry? Thank you, Brandy

I found what I have always assumed to be a fossilized broken leg bone among the landscaping stones in the parking lot of a barbecue restaurant in Nashville Tennessee in about 1985. Thus I have zero idea of its origins. The stone is very dense and hard, not at all like the more porous ones I’m accustomed to finding here in Florida. I had a local fossil enthusiast here in FL once tell me it was mammoth, but given the size that doesn’t quite fit to me. Can anyone tell me anything about the species, anatomy or whether it’s even really a fossil as I have been assuming all of these years? Thanks for any guidance and feedback!
