I like this idea of a personalized display cabinet. Could look quite nice when you're done. I wonder if you might engrave your name and the date, to add to the element of time, if there is room e.g. "[your name] me fecit 2024", like you see on old harpsichords.

Yep, that's gotta be it. Thank you!

Welcome to the Fossil Forum.. I have been waiting for you.. In August , 2008 after retiring from work, My spouse suggested a Peace River fossil hunting trip with Mark Renz, a competitor in the same business as Fred Mazza. That trip turned out to be worth 30-40 times what I paid.. It set me up for 16 years of hunting the Peace River... Literally change my life... Photo #1 -- Nice Sand Tiger on the right.. FAR more rare than Megs or any other shark tooth you found. Photo #3 Turtles have been here since the Miocene, dropping their fossils all over the Peace River. Likely impossible to "age" any specific fossil... Photo #4 Gator Vert, Horse, Horse, Stingray dermal denticles, Barracuda, Gator, Barracuda teeth. Photo #5 Small Bones are Hard.. Likely need clear Photos from all sides to have a chance. Photo #6 Florida Fighting Conch, Lightening Whelk, Apple Murex, Banded Tulip, Flyspeck Cerith, Apple Murex, Fine_ribbed Auger... Take a look at my Avatar.... Shellseeker. I did that before finding my 1st fossil. Welcome to TFF..

The many Lemmings I saw were fun and fearless. The boxing rabbits in spring were entertaining as well. I visited the Arctic Circle when I lived in Rovaniemi and saw the reindeer with the Sami, plus some wild ones in the forest. I also ice fished on Kemijoki and caught a mate. Matekeito is delicious as is all the Finnish food. Mämmi was an acquired taste but I ate what ever was served. And when I lived in Kauniainen, a neighbor family took me to Korkeasaari Zoo, which did have some Finnish wildlife, along with the usual animals.

I found this unique old/porous looking thing which I believe is a shell despite it looking similar to basalt. It was hidden in the sand near the shore on a beach in the South Eastern United States. I cant find anything like it through my research. Is this a sea shell? Is it fossilized? The middle is really thick for a sea shell. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Amazingly out hunting today. Why amazing ? My pretty constant hunting partner told me over and over that he could not go hunting again before Tuesday. He called about 7 pm last night. Fortunately for me, he can resist anything except temptation! We were going back to a location where we had previously found small colorful shark teeth. I have frequently said that finding 200+ small shark teeth should be possible on lots of locations on the Peace River. We generally hunt 5-6 hours, and I can process about 6 sieves an hour. That means I need to average 6-7 teeth per sieve in order to find 200 small teeth. I did not reach that number today because I was finding only 3-4 small shark teeth per sieve. A couple of Meg frags upper left... The bigger complete teeth tended to be Hemis, Tigers, Lemons... Generally, I find little teeth while waiting for something bigger, more impressive.. Sometimes ... more impressive does not always turn out to be "impressive". That is a process from a dugong vert at upper right. There are some Mammoth and Equus tooth fragments, the nub of a deer antler, a number of seashells transformed to Silica, two Alligator teeth (Big and Little). Here is Bigger... and a fragment of a Dolphin jaw... Just based on small size, this is likely from a small river Dolphin. Looks like there are alveoli for 5-6 teeth... I frequently imagine going to the Phosphate mines and finding one with teeth still attached. That would be something... Finally, I like to show the "oddballs".. Sometimes I find Shrimp burrows... They come in all shapes and sizes... This one is not very long.. In my 2nd photo above, I show some shells that have been transformed to silica versions... Here is an example where the inside of a shrimp is transformed. How does that happen. Does anyone have examples of an entire shrimp burrow has been transformed ? Below is some exciting finds where a Barnacle has been transformed to Silica... but a shrimp burrow...? Barnacles... another Enjoy... Jack

No. But that's precisely why I suggested it. I don't think these are.

Real or fake brachiosaurus phalange
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, Im planning to buy this phalange supposedly from brachiosaurus. I asked the seller how it ended up being identified as a brachiosaurus and he said that it's because it was found in a digsite where there was nothing found there beside 2 partial brachiosaurus skeleton. This fossil was found in the morrison formation size= 6 inch wide 6 inch long 5 inch at the tallest point weights around 24 lbs/11kg
