KimTexan Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Good luck with the prep! I'm sure you'll do a good job of it. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 At least it won't eat much. But.... if it did, would it drop coprolites on the floor? 1 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. 15 hours ago, caldigger said: I like your page holder! It was at hand, nearby. 8 hours ago, Ludwigia said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
