Found this fox skull in a partially dried up pond years ago while I was fishing for bass. The poor thing was stuck under a tree.
I cleaned organic material off it and sprayed a layer of transparent. Unfortunately many teeth are missing. I'm looking for ideas to make it into a nice decorative object without irreversibly destroying it.

Good luck cursing yourself, fuckface. Who messes with a fox skull that's been buried within the roots of a tree?

i would just display it as is
any attempt to make it into a 'nice decorative object' is going to make it look like some yard-sale-tier white trash halloween decoration
it looks cool as is bruh

I think I'll just make a wooden stand for it. Thanks.

you're doing the right thing anon - it's too cool to ruin and the fact that you salvaged it from the mud makes it even cooler
you might get some mounting ideas from websites that sell skulls & bones & stuff

Yes I never meant to vandalize it, I was thinking about some way to give it the importance it deserves.
The curious thing about its story, I think the fox was crushed to death by the falling tree. Either that or it tried to crawl under it and got stuck, and died from starvation.

I also have some ded animals skulls OP
A dog I found, a complete owl and a rat.
Best way to appreciate It's symbolic value, and biological oddness, with honor and reapect, It's keeping ir raw like you have it.
Encase it in a small cristal box, with a small plaque.
Godspeed.

My roommate put what he thinks is a fox's skull in a brick of clear resin. Definitely something to look into if you're worried about the fragility of the skull.

Have you thought about sticking it uo your ass and shitting it out whenever somebody would like to see it?

Yep, looks like a fox skull. Cool idea but I'm not 100% sold on the result.

I like skulls. Skulls are fun.
