Are these teeth in the right places?
This is a black bar skull I cleaned though maceration. I've run into a couple problems here with the dentition: I've never done a bear skull, and I didn't even think about the teeth falling out during maceraton and cleaning, so I didn't pay much attention before going for it (my first time macerating a skull as well). And, in life, this bear seemed to be very old. His teeth are very worn, smooth, and chipped, and the spot that appears to be missing a tooth is actually where a broken one sits (it won't stay in for the picture). Before I make anything permanent, I just wanted to make sure that everything is hopefully in the right spots.
