Skeletal Reconstruction
Skeletal reconstruction is the term used to describe re-assembly of bones (and fragments of bones), to create a full or partial skeleton from fossil remains. It ranges from piecing together a single bone from hundreds of crumbled fragments to the assembly of a complete animal skeletons. Although the DVS name suggests fossil reconstruction, we also do articulation of “modern” skeletons from small rodents, to full-size whale skeletons. No reconstruction task is too large or too small.
Skeletal reconstruction and articulation services include:
Permanent internal mounting
Removable “research-ready” mounting
Bone consolidation
Recreation of missing elements
Pedestal or ceiling mounting
Carcass flensing and maceration services
