So I turned to Etsy and found this mammal skull soap. It was just the right size to repurpose.
For the pedestal, I used one of the small metal items from the kickoff that I couldn't quite identify. I removed the rust by soaking it in Coke, and discovered a "Timken" label underneath. (I looked up "Timken", and decided that the part looked the most like a coupling.)
I stacked wooden beads on top, and mounted the skull with miniature wax. Results are below. I like how it looks with the meteorite.
