What every gal with a pet bison needs

Recommended Posts

I have spent more dollars on my pet bison than I have ever spent on fossil related tools. I’ve purchased:

- A poster on bovine skull anatomy. I couldn’t find a decent free one online.

- Butvar 76

- Paraloid B72 (auto correct kept wanting to “paranoid” LOL)

- Cyanoacrylate (More of it. Ran out during extraction)

- A couple books. One is on “consolidants, adhesives and coatings” in conservation. It is somewhat more technical than what I was expecting. Not beyond my comprehension, but definitely a more in-depth study kind of read. Its detailed chemistry of all the materials we hear about and use. Including those listed above.

The Cow and Bison book by Finsley

 

And now what every gal with a pet bison needs is:

I’m definitely going to need this when I go trying to prep the skull.

At least it won't eat much. But.... if it did, would it drop coprolites on the floor? :D

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

That made me laugh. 

It won’t shed or make too much noise either.

Unfortunately it doesn’t snuggle/cuddle well either.

It was at hand, nearby.

Good luck with the prep! I'm sure you'll do a good job of it.

I am a bit nervous about it. There are things I didn’t know at the beginning that would have improved the outcome on the skull if I had known then what I know now.

Also, prep work is a chore to me. I hope I can keep my focus and get it done sooner rather than later.

In 3 months or so the weather will be too hot for the long hunts I like to go on. Then I’ll be largely relegated to staying indoors then.
