US Patent 10035374 Skull mount for use in skull mounting

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a skull mount for skull mounting or European mounting to display an animal skull with antlers. The skull mount comprises two pieces, a base and a skull plate cover. A skull plate with antlers affixed thereto may be positioned on the base. This way, since the antlers are still attached to the skull plate, it provides natural positioning of the antlers for that animal. The skull plate cover then registers on the base and covers a portion of the skull plate of the animal. As such, the skull mount covers the skull plate and provides a skull mount with naturally positioned antlers within an anatomically correct skull cover patterning.
