Fossil Preparation
Crystal World has a well equipped workshop and expert staff, well
trained in the art of fossil restoration and preservation. In addition
to preparing fossils, we also cast specimens to develop our range
of replica products. Fossils are like carvings, when asked most
carvers claim that the carving was already in the rock, all they
had to do was remove the surplus pieces. A fossil preparator leaves
far less to the imagination. All he has to do is to follow the dotted
lines. Most fossils are millions of years old and the bed rock baring
them has often shifted or cracked. In many cases the dead animals
did not get buried when they died, but were buried much later so
that their bones were often damaged or missing or disarticulated. The preparator must
fill in these gaps and create from a pile of rubble ,a reasonable
attempt at restoring the original
creature.At times pieces may be added or moved , many times parts are cast and added to complete the creature .
