Abstract:
1. A taxidermy system for mounting animal trophy skulls, comprising: a support platform having a base surface for abutting an adjacent support surface for the apparatus and an opposite surface; a concrete reinforcement bar welded to and extending from the support platform at a nonorthogonal angle with respect to a plane of the opposite surface, the concrete reinforcement bar having at least one axial rib extending along a length thereof, and a plurality of ribs formed thereon along an axis thereof such that the ribs circumscribe the concrete reinforcement bar and the ribs are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction and extending radially with respect to the axis; an animal skull mounted to the concrete reinforcement bar such that the concrete reinforcement bar extends through the animal skull for support thereof, the ribs forming an interference fit between features located inside the animal skull and the concrete reinforcement bar; and a center of gravity of the animal skull is aligned with a geometric center of the support platform.
