Before covid I used to work at a museum doing exactly this kinda prep work just more on Dimetrodon and other Permian organisms. I really miss it, and this channel gives me some great nostalgia. Beautiful prep work as always.

Well that's great to know the videos are helping a little. Hopefully in the not so distant future you'll be back in the museum with tools in hand!

Adam Eliezar, what Dimetrodon specimens did you work on restoring. I'm working on the restoration of a Dimetrodon milleri skeleton found on an oil field site 7 miles west of Archer Texas? Starting to finish the sail element on each vertebra. 75 in all hope to complete it this year. It's about 70% complete skeleton. I been working the Research aspect with UT paleolab and MCZ at Harvard. Sounds like we are in the same field.

@@davidletasi3322 I used to work for the Houston Museum of Natural Science in their prep lab. I was working on a juvenile specimen that we called neo. Not as complete as yours however it did include a large amount of neural spines and vertebrae, a handful of ribs, and evidence of both shed teeth, and bite marks on the skeleton.

@@adameliezer4723 were you able to determine the origin of the species of the bite marks? I have specimens of Dimetrodon from the Geraldine Bone Bed with shark teeth imbeded in them. Thats very interesting, has it been published? Have you worked on Wet Wili Bob Bakkers Dimetrodon specimens? The Dimetrodon I'm working on was directly associated with a Eryops skull with a Dimetrodon vertebra impacted on its left lateral tooth row. It will have to be CT scanned to determine if the Eryops tooth impaled the Dimetrodom vertebra or its just a natural association from taphonic processes. I just checked out on utube Gretchen working on Neo's jacket. In 2019 I studied the University of Texas paleo labs juvenile specimen of Dimetrodon to develop restoration on our caudal vertebra.

Fascinating stuff! I've been considering studying paleontology at Portsmouth later this year and your vids are heavily influencing my decision.

So cool to see this go from a lump of mostly matrix to a brilliant dismisses piece.

Just a note, I've been using the Paleo Bond two part sculpt that is colored. You can also purchase various color shade pastel colors and blend the pigments together to match the bone your restoring. It keeps me from using water colors that mask the restoration area to allow professional study and to determine what is real and what's restored. You can mix the colors quite close to the color of the specimen and its looks fantastic for museum exhibit display as well. The sculpt sticks come in various earth tone colors that match almost any fossil bone.

Awesome work , the rock at the start look so brittle . how did you get in to this art ?
@PalaeoArt3 жыл бұрын
Yes, the surrounding rock was pretty soft which made this as very simple prep. Some matrix is incredibly hard and takes 10x as long! I studied this at University and have always kept up prepping fossils since really.
