HEEELLLP PLZZZZ!!

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine
Jean Hopping.


Diane made a rubber silicone mold of the impression.
Then, she made a sturdy wax cast of the mold and sent
it to a metalworks company. The foundry workers
coated the wax mold with plaster and put it in an
industrial oven. The wax melted off, leaving a plaster
shell. The workers poured melted bronze into the shell,
and the metal cooled and hardened into a bronze tiger
tongue.
Diane's casts of the tongue and paw allowed zoo
visitors to share her amazing experience. People felt
the roughness of the big cat's tongue and spread a
hand inside the palm of its giant paw. This, she
decided, was one of the coolest things I have ever
done. She savored the moment, knowing that far
graver matters were always just a phone call away.
