fossilized6s Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Oh no, look out, it's the spelling police. What's an "Oroedont" and "skelepon", JP?

FossilDudeCO Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Wow JP! great job, very nice display! Is this a personal piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 darn spelling police... I will fix the skeleton, but I do not know how to fix the topic title. I did this piece for one of the landowners where I go for White River stuff... he collected it. PS... thanks for calling me on that... I have been known to play grammar police on this forum, so it is only fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snolly50 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's a wonderful result. Will you post the approximate measurements of the piece? That might help me better conceptualize the appearance of the living creature.

jpc Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 It's a wonderful result. Will you post the approximate measurements of the piece? That might help me better conceptualize the appearance of the living creature. The box is about 24 inches long. The skull is about 5 inches long. A small oreodont. Merycoidodon gracilis, I think.

wrfisherman Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Echoing the Great job comments! So, while it's in the box, are you planning on making a mold/cast of it? It would be a cool one to have for specimen study. Again, great job! thanks for sharing after all the hard work. M Mitchell Don't Sit Still - - You'll Fossilize!

I need a much better reason than that to mold something...as in someone better pay me for it or the fossil is truly unique. (For something as well known as an oreodont, full articulation, would be a plus). I will give this to its rightful owner and go find a better one. : ) Or maybe prep one of the better ones I have laying around, (he says all humble and such). Molding is pretty expensive and time consuming and I would rather spend what little spare time I have actually finding and prepping fossils.

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Very nice creodont skeleton. What species is it? Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...
