Hollow Tree Sculpture for Hylonomus Exhibit
Check out these photos of the construction and transportation of Mark Boon's interpretation of Hylonomus lyelli denning inside its hollow tree. The sculpture was donated to the Centre as part of our interpretative display for the Hylonomus exhibit. A big thanks to Mark and to Ron Baker for helping us transport the sculpture from Mark's studio to the Centre. Thank you also to the River Hebert Co-op for lending equipment that greatly helped in the transportation of this fantastic sculpture!
If you haven't been in to the Centre to see Hylonomus, the world's oldest reptile fossil, what are you waiting for? Hylonomus will be on display at the Centre until October 31st.

It all starts with a good foundation
Lots of wire mesh and rebar for structural support
The start of what will be 9 bags of concrete!

The mould for Hylonomus.
A nervous few minutes until we loaded it on the truck.
Again..nervous.
