My works for Numata Fossil Museum (1)

Amynodon watanabei
scale 1/10




























Occasionally Amynodon are reconstructed with same shape of Metamynodon. But there are differences between the skeleton of Amynodon and Metamynodon. Amynodon has longer legs than Metamynodon. And the skull forms are difference too. I tried to express the differences for this model.

I got home from SVP2010.

Thank you very much for all people I met at SVP2010 !! I could have very interesting and happy days. I'm looking forward to meet you again!

I got the cast of Cotylorhynchus skull at the auction of SVP!  The reconstruction model of the image is my work. I'd wanted to ornament my work with the fossil. This time, my dream came true!
