Why reconstruct the Rhoetosaurus brownei?
In 1971, David Joffe (CEO of Natureworks) began his career in museum techniques as a 19-year-old cadet museum preparator at the Queensland Museum under Terry Tebble as the senior preparator.
After skinning over 500 dead rats for preparation as study skins for the curator of mammals and reptiles at the time, Jeanette Covacevich. His first fun job was the moulding and casting of the femur of Rhoetosaurus brownei which was about 1.5metres in length. This was the early beginning of his interest in paleo-biological reconstruction which would evolve into this passion for reconstructing life-sized models of ancient Australian prehistoric animals.
He did not imagine that 51 years later he would be reconstructing the first full-sized fibreglass fleshed-out model of the same animal. His next challenge is to sell one of these magnificent dinosaurs to fund his next dinosaur reconstruction.
