This is super cool, we use to have a lot of these where I worked but I never new that so much work went to them! In case anyone is wondering the company is Bone Clones and their products are durable as hell
An interesting fact is that the skull they replicated most likely came from the LaBrea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California. The bones found there, are always stained that dark color and if you ever see a Skeleton with that color, chances are it came from those tar pits

With the plastic that was wrapped around before the clay was applied, it prevents clay and silicone from sticking to the skull itself, lowering the risk of damage. And im sure they take care not to damage the skull when removing it from the mold.
Interesting comments! I've been working in this field for decades and the materials to cast these fossils have improved dramatically over the last several years. The pliable silicone molding material is very gentle to bone and the surface of the skull is treated to keep the bone from sticking to the silicone. However no matter how careful you are in this process specimens have been slightly damaged by this process. Initially fossil skulls to be cast are stabilized by various adhesive like pentrating PB 100 to seep in cracks and solidify any weakness in the fossil bone. It's a very laborious procedure and occasionally some damage can occur to the original specimen, even then the original bone can be skillfully repaired and restored.
@@davidletasi3322 hi David, I am deeply interested in making such accurate replicas for our art class, but in india getting them is inhibitingly difficult/expensive. Could we discuss a way we can?
I was just thinking, the "original" seems awfully intact and robust. I wonder how many times a guy with a dremel and a airbrush have made a copy of a copy of a skull that was originally pieced together from fragments? The side by side comparison showed a lot of small differences just from what I could see.
@@maxwilm76 Given thats its a saber tooth tiger skull that probably came from a tar pit, its not surprising for the skull to be intact and robust. The species is not that old and the tarpits are great at preserving shape without damage
The sabers are also casts from labrea tar pit specimen sabers. Many individual isolated sabers from fragmented skulls are found there. Each are fitted by size to match the skull used in the mold making process. Rarely are both sabers found intact on skulls as during decomposition the sabers generally fall out. Only a small number of skulls of most genus of saber tooth cat have intact sabers. These cats fossils are extremely rare and labrea has the highest concentration of sabertooth cat fossils in the world.
Many working labs have air ventilation systems drawing out the vapors. This is a demonstration and the actually pouring of resins usually wear a respirator.
It keeps the break-ins and thefts of the real thing down... Nowadays it's just the idiots trying to steal what they think are highly valuable fossilized skeletons (Surprise!! Surprise!!).

Fossils tend to also have that colour from sediment staining.

They do that intentionally because it saves a little time. The wings on the nut act as a thick washer so they have to tighten through fewer threads.

@@jones81381 then why not use shorter bolts? it creates a pinch points and is more likely to cause films through creating gaps in the outer ring.

If I got one for myself, I'd have it painted to look fresh, like I'd just peeled the rest of the animal off.
There's a lot of paint techniques and airbrushing is the most efficient taking into account the way art is standarized.
Still love this. When I'm out of things to watch I just search how it's made. I have a specific set of steps as to which vid I will watch.
Can you share your steps?
How’d they make the mold without damaging the real skull??
Its a mold, not lava..

Hi
I was wondering about the teeth. They looked very realistic and didn't appear to be made from resin. Any ideas on where the teeth came from?
The sabers are also casts from labrea tar pit specimen sabers. Many individual isolated sabers from fragmented skulls are found there. Each are fitted by size to match the skull used in the mold making process. Rarely are both sabers found intact on skulls as during decomposition the sabers generally fall out.

That guy just put a wing nut on backwards… how the hell do you even manage that?
Allows the wing to seat into the fiberglass to keep the two halves stable while handling.
He 1000% rode the spinner for fun
yk i wanna make my own skull of a purussaurus but it be better if it were real but i cant just magicly wish a real purussaurus skull
Dude's use of wingnut goes against the laws of the universe
I was trying to figure out a practical reason for putting the wing nut on backwards, but can’t think of any.
Too many missing steps. But Enjoyable post, nevertheless.
Okay, cool cool...
*now how are straws made*
Who knows the company who does this replicas?
Why is he using the wingnuts the wrong way around?
It allows the wing nut to seat into the fiberglass form. It's secure the two molds from slipping apart during handling.

Why is it called a "sabertooth cat" and not a "sabertooth tiger"? Or was that invented for drama and popularized by the Power Rangers?
its technically not a "tiger" or closely related to modern day tigers so efforts have been made to move away from the inaccurate common name
Sabertooth cats are not tigers they are only distantly related. The term "Sabertooth tiger" is a popular term from public misconception.
