[Nhcoll-l] stegosaurus plaster cast repair--advice needed

[Demouthe, Jean]

You might try contacting Phil Fraley, who worked on the Carnegie's and the American Museum's dinosaurs.  I think he now lives in Pennsylvania.

You could not do better than Phil for this type of work.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] stegosaurus plaster cast repair--advice needed

Hello all,
Happy new year! I am need of some contacts/suggestions for repairing our plaster Stego cast that is on view here at the Everhart Museum. One of the Stego's tail spikes has broken from its skeletal plaster but is still connected with the steel spring, but is not stable. I have previously had a specialist repair other issues with our Stego but he has since moved to the West Coast and flying him in to do the repair is not the most cost-effective option.
Would anyone have previous experience with this type of repair? Please email any Northeast contacts that would be willing to drive to Scranton for the repair, off-list of course. Thanks so much for your time and help.
Best,
Nezka
