Ptychodus04 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I just found out that I may get the opportunity to prepare a partial Triceratops skeleton that a local collector has. Apparently, it has been sitting for years and much of it is still in its field jacket! I'm going to look at it in the next couple weeks. So... Keep your collective fingers crossed. This would be a cool job.

Ptychodus04 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 cool... so what are you doing for the next three years? This sounds like a line from the now infamous Honey Badger video on YouTube! "What did the preparator do for the next three years? Prep a Triceratops." I really hope I get this job. It will be the perfect leverage I need to upgrade my compressor and buy a couple new PaleoTools scribes!!

Ludwigia Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) cool... so what are you doing for the next three years? Now that's what I call guaranteed employment. Good luck on this. Over here in Germany we press our thumbs instead of crossing our fingers. Don't ask me why, but I'll do that for you anyway. Edited October 30, 2015 by Ludwigia Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Over here in Germany we press our thumbs instead of crossing our fingers. Don't ask me why, but I'll do that for you anyway. That has to hurt! Do you press them with steam or a dry iron? I'll let you all know if I get it. We are trying to set up a time to view the specimen either this weekend or next. There's apparently also a good bit of material from the Green River in the collection, including some stingrays.

Ptychodus04 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 I found out last week, that the collection with the triceratops has to go through probate as it is part of an inheritance. The only entity that moves slower than scientific publications are the courts. So, I may never see this trike after they got my hopes up!

Mike Pocock Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The world may have lost the chance at seeing something extraordinary, hope the court move fast in this case. Just a thought, tell them that a scientifically valuable find may be deteriorating and a quick decision is required. Sometimes that works in the UK. Good luck, not only have your expectations been cruelly dashed but the anticipation of the forum members feasting on premier prep images has been snatched from us. Regards A deeply disappointed Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
