I've notice some smaller armatures for articulated animals are copper and not steel. Is there a good reason for this? I'm about to build my own and have more experience with steel. Sure, it can be heavier and harder to bend, but I don't plan on taking my dino camping with me...

I created these fossil frames for my finds on trips to Kemmerer and Delta. They were a fair amount of work but I thought I'd share the design because I haven't seen anyone selling similar frames. I think the open space shows the fragility of the rock along with its natural shape instead of trapped in a rectangular frame. And I love collecting the accompanying negative impression. If you have any of your own designs, I'd love to see them! (no offense if this doesn't count as prep, but couldn't find display as a category) Cheers.

Happy belated National Fossil Day! Hope I'm not overstepping from bounds by posting this, but a few people on the forum have asked me how to get out to the one accessible spot left at the C and D Canal in Delaware. It's tricky to find and doesn't look like much when you first get there. I am leading a trip out there this Sunday for Delaware Nature Society as my somewhat belated, but more publicly accessible, National Fossil Day excursion. We are going to be out on the plain that is a the spoils from the canal for a couple hours looking for treasures, but it won't take more then a f

I posted recently asking for opinions on a partial Moroccan Dyrosaurus skull and jaws that I've had for a while, waiting for me to do something with it. The feedback I had encouraged me to start work on it, so I'm going to document my progress here. I seem to have most of the skull and upper jaws, though it is in a very fragmentary state. The bone pieces are very delicate and most are still covered in matrix. I plan to clean and consolidate all of the bones, and then mount them in 3D. Whether I will do this in the traditional way, or with the help of my 3D

These mounts were mentioned in a different post but I thought I would start a new thread since they are completed. I used copper wire to form the mounts, then soldered several places for strength, soldered to a copper plate and tempered the hot metal to make it rigid. I used combinations of vinegar and ammonia in a closed environment to force a patina on the copper. The bases are made from zebrawood with a satin polyurethane finish.

Anyone know of an Aussie supplier of Riker mounts? I'm looking at getting some overseas but the shipping is killing me.

So I've got something very similar to this: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=display+case&espv=2&biw=1484&bih=752&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=0HlEVfe2BuOxmwXzt4DIAw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&dpr=0.9#tbm=isch&q=hanging+insect+display+case&imgrc=OiM7dhMAoYay0M%253A%3Bn2T9IOQ58V12IM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.hometrainingtools.com%252Fmedia%252Fcatalog%252Fproduct%252Fcache%252F1%252Fimage%252F9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95%252FB%252FE%252FBE-CASEINS_2.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.hometrainingtools.com%252Finsect-exhibit-case-8-x-12%252Fp%252FBE-CASEINS%252F%
