Field notes

The work group consists of five motifs representing six species, with the Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops sharing one composition. The site describes species-specific bone fragments being ground, sieved, and mixed into screen-printing ink, leaving a perceptible grain on the paper. Acrylic covers contain animal-shaped openings so the surface can be touched. Material entries name fragments such as a woolly rhinoceros cheekbone and a Smilodon femoral head, with stated origins including Siberia and Florida.
