Well, bed time for me. I’m not real sure what creature this came from. I don’t think it’s diprotodon.

 

It’s pretty twisted but I like how it is personally. It’s also heavy for its size compared to most fossils we find.

A couple pieces we may try and attach but unsure if we will or not.

 

Cheers,

Troy and Skye.

Turned out well, I wonder what it is. :popcorn:

Thank you for sharing from the beginning, thru the prep, to final result.  Plus kudos to the photographer,  excellent angles and closeups filling the screen.

Almost there with you :popcorn:

So it’s now thought to be an Euowenia species. The teeth are a little different to Diprotodon (shallower angle, sorta a hook to the tops of the teeth). Will have to find out when a few more people offer there thoughts on ID.

 

Euowenia was a fair bit smaller than Diprotodon optatum, and was thought (not confirmed) to be more of a foresty dweller.

This was quite the project and made for a most interesting thread.  A really cool fossil too!

This will be our last prep thread, sorry lads and ladies.

A smashing fossil. I’m gonna miss the Aussie prep threads, always learned something new.
