DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE MATRIX FROM WHICH THESE REPTILES ARE COLLECTED ( A FRIABLE " PAPER SHALE " OF VOLCANIC ASH ) ALL FOSSILS RECOVERED FROM THIS DEPOSIT ARE IN PIECES WHICH ARE REASSEMBILED.
IN THIS EXAMPLE I HAVE REASSAMBILED THE SPECIMEN AND BONDED IT TO A PLYWOOD BACKING ENCLOSED WITHIN A SLIP FRAME.
REASSAMBLEY INEVITABLY MEANS THAT THERE IS SOME RESTORATION AND RECONSTRUCTION TO THE JOINS IN THE MATRIX AND BONE
EXAMPLES OF HYPHALOSAURUS OF THIS SIZE AND QUALITY ARE HARD TO FIND NOW ALTHOUGH SOME " BABY " EXAMPLES CAN STILL BE FOUND
