Two sides of the first vert attached to the skull vert. 4" x 2.5".

First vertebrae mounted.


Right side of skull.

Using the new skull as a guide, I was able to reconstruct about 1/4 of the outside of the skull and some of the inside pieces, the right side is mostly complete. If I had all the fossil pieces, the fossil skull would extend about 6-8 inches past the front of the smaller skull. I will keep working on the smaller pieces and add them over time.
