Step 4Glue egg and embryo to cardboard
position the embryo and the parts of the cap as show and make sure that they all fit together. It doens't matter if the embryo is a bit on the small size, but if it is too big you will have to rework it slightly to make it fit. Don't worry about gaps inside the egg, you are going to be filling those in.
Use the other bits of the cap to be the tip of a second egg, looking like it has only just been exposed but not fully excavated. This way you get two fossil eggs out of one lid.
If you have more than one lid, then cut the others in half and arrange in a circle on a larger bit of card. You could put one in the freezer for a few minutes and then break it with a hammer so that you have lots of pieces which you can then arrange to make it look like there were some broken eggs lying about in the nest too.
Make sure that the two halves of the open egg match up and trim them if necessary.
Once you are happy with the fit and the position, glue the pieces down.
