fossils and bones from the birds

Halloween Still Life with Bird Skeleton, 23 by 30 inches, acrylics on paper, available

Have kept your wonder for fossils? For dinosaurs and other extinct creatures? 

Mi Papa and I raised a baby bird for a few weeks when I was about 9 years old. We played catch with Tweety to teach him how to fly. I have a few photos of us, thanks to mi Mama. 

The design of this fossil is soooo cool. It's as if an etching (type of print), but then adding mixed media materials (the flattened bones, the textures). 

What colors would you make the feathers? I love, love, love this fossil! 

Do you keep wonder about fossils? Which are your favorite fossils?
