Great specimens. What material do you use to fill the gaps? Would be interested in trying this on some of mine.

I used epoxy putty to fill the gap, not for aestethics but to prevent the root lobe from coming off. Actually it was pretty messy and it took me a lot of time to fill the gap completely (though it is solid now so I am satisfied).

 

I also thought that UV-setting dental polymer could be very useful for fossil restoration, but I didn`t try yet.
