Restoration

  Mt. Blanco specializes in restoring fossils in any condition.



A Mammoth Skull Restoration by Museum Director Joe Taylor

I have restored several mammoth skulls like this one
from Alaska, which came to me busted all to smithereens.
After gluing the pieces together I attached a fiberglass cast of the missing
tusk sockets.
Next the major pieces were
cemented together by two part plastic foam.
After many hours, my efforts were rewarded by the beauty of this impressive beast from Gods creation.

 


Alaskan Bison Skull Restoration for the Rothschild Collection

This large, beautiful Bison priscus skull from Alaska came to me smashed by a bulldozer and missing its left horn. [upper left] After gluing the skull together and sculpting the missing parts I molded the right horn which I cast in plastic and reworked it to use it
for the left horn.
The left horn was attached to a rod anchored in the skull and joined with a hard plastic foam which was then sculpted to resemble the bone. There is a great mystery surrounding the millions of bison and mammoths which were buried quickly all over the vast recesses of Alaska and Siberia.
