Little Alligator Fossil Cast

Description

A little Procaimanoidea (Alligator) fossil cast from the Green River Formation in Wyoming. The original of this fossil is from the Eocene time period.

This little guy took about 10 hours to paint, from plain white plaster, to this. The full plaster piece is about 35in long, for size reference.
Apologies for the lack of detail on the photo, the lighting available at the time washed out most of the nifty details, though they can be seen at [link] .

This is part of the "punishment" I got from my boss after she saw the finished palaeosinopa. The other part is a turtle fossil cast, also from the Green River Formation.
