Dear Jake, I find your pages so inspiring and the easiest to follow after trawling through various sites. The common name for Pteropus vampyrus is the flying fox, which alludes to the color of this bat's coat and its fox-like face. This fox was given to me by a gamekeeper in my village, and last September I buried it by the Secret Lake. I used a drill to CAREFULLY drill through the joint between the jaw and cranium (top part of skull) while putting a bit of foam between the teeth to hold the position.

I have a mummified skeleton but i cant tell whether it's fox or dog - do you have any tips for me to tell them apart? My son was so happy to be able to put the pieces together and see that we had a deers scapula, femur, and tibia. I took photographs at every stage and while I had some help there were some bits I didn't get right first time.

Here is the neck, with the atlas (the vertebrae next to the skull, shaped like a wingnut) on the right, the axis (the next vertebrae, below the atlas) next to it, and the first few thoracic vertebrae on the left. This is an online only auction and lots will not be available to view at our auction rooms, however, all items are comprehensively illustrated. Symbolic Magic: Each design carries its own symbolism - the triskele representing the three elements of earth, water, and air, the triple moon embodying the aspects of Maiden, Mother, and Crone, and the pentacle symbolizing protection and balance. I have been trying to get a Fox skull for a while now, and this is my third attempt, both previous ones were either robbed or scavenged and I lost them. I have made the left foot slightly inwardly rotated rather than parallel with the floor, hopefully when I pose it I can have it gripping a rock or something so it isn’t as apparent….

This site is all about the preparation and articulation of animal skeletons - OR - turning a dead animal into a clean set of bones and assembling those bones into a complete skeleton. I've also found that there are A LOT of worms near the bones, so should I check for the second body where I find a lot of worms?

Filled in some gaps where I have some bones missing, repaired the broken neck of femur and Built up the other foot…. Will's Skull Site will show the difference between foxes and dogs but it's mainly about how the skull goes down between the top of the head and the snout. Because the tarsals (small ankle bones) and carpals (small wrist bones) are so small and fiddly, the paw bones need to be wired directly onto the leg bones. I was quite pleased with how it came out abs it got me thinking if I could rearticulate the rest of the skeleton, so I went and collected as many of the rest of the bones as I could fine.

Almost at the end, inbetween the axis and atlas I put a cable tie tight, cut off the end, and pushed it down to make most of the spine tight.

They are normally loose in the knee joint, but I glued them to the bottom of the femur but another way I could have done it would be to use wire and a hole drilled at the top of the tibia but this was was simpler.

I then collected the skull, cleaned it with soap and water and then soaked it in a biological detergent and water mix for about 6 months to get the dried skin and grease out of the bones. You can customize certain skulls you purchase by displaying them on the base most appropriate for the size of that skull. I assembled the rear left foot and glued it together temporarily with a hot melt glue gun, once I have figured out the pose I will pick the glue gun glue off and reassemble the foot using milliput resin putty (maybe! Foxes have a flattened skull, upright triangular ears, a pointed, slightly upturned snout, and a long, bushy tail.
