Interesting way of displaying an oreodont.
fossilhunter21 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi, everyone. Just thought I would share with everyone this thing I just made to display my oreodont skull nicer. I had been thinking of ways that I could do it, and decided this would work the best for me. To make the insert, I had to put saran wrap around both halves of the skull. Then, using apoxie sculpt, I sculpted the insert to the the shape of the skull. This took a lot of patience, and a lot of time... I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it done before it dried. The reason for the weird shape in the matrix of the jaw is to help keep the insert in place. I am not super happy with the green color, but it still looks pretty good, at least to me. I am also not sure happy with the placement... Hope you enjoy! Cheers and Shalom, -Micah -
I was on a walk and this rock had broken away from the bluff and was on the trail. Does anyone know what the fossil is?

Aquired a big megalodon tooth who seemed to have certain deformation/pathology to a certain extent. However, it looks like serrations has started to split off in two directions? I'm not familiar with this at all. Anyone who is more familiar with megalodon and shark teeth that can help?

Hello folks, I started prepping this oreodont skull fossil last year and discovered a bone in it's mouth!!!! I know Oreodonts are herbivores, so, I am assuming it ended up there as a result of shifting mud-etc. But I thought it was interesting and wanted to share my discovery. This project is still in process.

What is the Most Interesting Time Period to you?
Zenmaster6 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I was curious about what peoples favorite Geologic Time period was. My favorites would have to be Early Cretaceous, because biodiversity was higher than previous times and we begin to see new life forms we might recognize today such as this 100 million year old bee I have. My second favorite is probably the Early Permian, entire Carboniferous and later Devonian because amphibians, therapsids, reptiles, sharks and plant evolution. (The chart below shows biodiversity.)- 20 replies
