documentation of early amniote fossils
Documentary sketches before the final drawing help to clear up the anatomy and preservation. Tracing paper over colored print-out, scaled to 200% of natural size, by observing the fossils and casts.
casts of early amniote fossils
For my planned dissertation some Permian amniote fossils have to be cast. The soft bones have left natural casts in the limestone that can be documented as the original shapes when molded with silicone.
