> The Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust would like to produce some replica
> casts (fibreglass/resin) from fossils found on one of their nature reserves
> (and possibly from our collections here at Bucks County Museum) for
handling.
> Specimens will include Pleistocene material and could be sizeable, e.g.
> mammoth tusk, limb bone) . They may also want Cretaceous specimens.
>
> It is the sort of thing our conservator here at Bucks used to do before he
> retired some years ago. Can anyone recommend anybody who would be able to
> carry such work. I would especially be interested to hear from people who
> have had Pleistocene specimens cast in recent years.
>
> Alternatively, has anyone had any experience of replicating fossils via 3D
> printing for handling
