Mastodon Cast for Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History | 2020-2023

Mastodons lived in Nova Scotia on and off for more than 70,000 years. This project was completed for the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History in Halifax, we did the mounting and finishing of the Mastodon skeleton cast that would eventually make its way all around the East Coast. Mastodon fossils are rare to find in Nova Scotia. Only a handful of sites have been discovered with confirmed remains. Here are some up close and behind the scene looks at the mounting and finishing of the Mastodon skeleton cast.
