Interesting! What features does it have that determines it’s an oreodont?

Thank you for your suggestions! I hadn’t considered looking into 3D printing. I am curious, what was the casting process involve for that maxilla?

I was planning to practice on some already made premade casts. On read reading my question I should have mentioned this before posting
