Natalie81 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hello, a few months ago I recieved a fossil from the mines from Madagascar; a Barasaurus ( Perm ) It took a lot of trial and error to prep this fossil and I had to keep gluing parts that got lose. the matrix was very challenging, sometimes extrmely hard, and sometimes very soft end the bones were brittle. the fossil was a real challenge, but I got to the end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpenn Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Interesting to see a Permian example of Barasaurus, and to see that the bones are preserved. The same creature survived to the early Triassic of Madagascar and is found in nodules which appear to preserve only an exterior mold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
