So having a small fossil collection i have thought of the possibility of studying the fossils especially the dinosaur teeth but the problem is im not a scientist so i don't know how to study them so if someone could tell me if cheap fossils like these could be studied and how it would be largely appreciated. (Collection includes 2 spinosaurus teeth, a meg tooth, 2 mosasaur teeth, mammoth hair, carcharodontosaurus tooth) Thanks.

I'd like to start a personal website but don't know where to begin
hemipristis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
hi all, I've noticed that a number of members have their own webpage, and I would like to have one myself, but am unsure how to go about it. Anybody out there web-savvy? In terms of my computer knowledge, I am comfortable operating the Office suite and a graphics program or two, all of which Ive taught myself, but when it comes to networking computers with printers and such, I'm lost. And Ive never dabbled in the web design, so I figure Id look for a decent service that can set one up for me or show me how. Or hire someone who already has a page of their own to develop a similar one for me. This would also allow me to get off of social media, which I find to be increasingly toxic. Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated! -
Hello and a very warm well welcome to my little museum So the time has finally come and I can show what I got. A friend of mine, who is a professional photographer, took some very nice pictures and I would like to share them now with all of you Let's go: First my two Megalodon tooth: 5.64 in with very nice serrations 5.3 in no serrations present on this tooth Spinosaurid teeth from KemKem The first one is rather big with 5.5 inches, but I'm aware this is a composite. Sooner or later I will work on this tooth with Acetone. This one is at 3.15 in, but also some glue present My smallest Spino tooth at 3.3 in, but also the best looking without bad restoration A Mosasaur tooth from Morocco at 2.55 in Another Mosasaur tooth from Morocco. Rooted with broken crown (whole tooth with root is 4.6 in) This one is described as a rooted Elosuchus cherifiensis tooth from KemKem at 3.07 in Root is glued back together, but I think it's rather well done. The pieces fit and I don't think this is a composite Not sure about the ID however. If someone got more information, please let me know I would say it's croc, but not sure about the species. Well this tooth is familiar to some It'S my reconstructed Carcharodontosaurid tooth from this topic: Length is 2.48 in A nice Otodus obliquus tooth from Morocco at 3.5 in (big boy) Next from KemKem is a Onchopristis numidus rostral barb at 1.57 in Two Abelisaurid teeth from KemKem Ornithocheirid tooth from KemKem Something different A Pteranodon indet. bone from Niobara Formation, Logan County, Kansas, USA And a Diplomystus dentatus from Green River An Afrovenator abakensis tooth from Tiourarén Formation in Niger. Yes it's one of this special lot the goes around TFF for some time now. Nanotyrannus lancensis form Hell Creek. One repaired crack, 1.05 in A very nice Mako tooth from Temblor Formation California (thx @caldigger )

From the album: My trilobites
Hollardops mesocristata Devónian , Alnif. Morocco. -
Hey! This might be the wrong thread/topic but here it goes. I recently started collecting different species of trilobites. It would have been interesting to see what species others have collected and whether you can refer to some species in a medium price range that is worth collecting. I have a desire to compile a list for myself with different species that I can follow. Someone who has / knows about fine trilobites that are worth collecting? These are the species I have collected so far: - Flexicalymene sp (morocco) - Flexicalymene retrorsa - Coltraneia oufatensis - Hollardops mesocristata - Hollardops sp. - Ductina vietnamica - Elrathia kingi - Different phacops sp. - andalusiana cambropallas - Some unidentified species (will be posting pictures, some of you probably know) Thanks!

What fossils should be in every collector’s collection?
DeepTimeIsotopes posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I recently posted my piece of amber with a small gnat relative encased inside in the recognizing fake fossils subforum. In that thread @caldigger and I were talking about how an insect in amber is a staple for any fossil collection. That got me thinking about what other fossils would be good inexpensive (or expensive, I don’t judge) fossils that are also must-haves of collectors. Of course, being from the West, I thought about Knightia eocaena and Elrathia kingii. What do you guys consider to be the collector’s classics? -

Got some minerals in there such as mesolite, malachite, pyrite and quartz, calcite, kyanite and quartz, stibnite, and a bunch more. I'm not able to identify all of these. All I know is they are from the Devonian time period and some ordovician. -
To start 2019 with a bang we bought 5 new glass display cabinets at a certain Swedish furniture shop. I spend the last day of 2018 to build the 5 cabinets so I could give some of my best specimens the display they deserve. after a few hours work and selection of the fossils this is how it turned out : most of those fossils are self collected in Belgium ,France and England. With lots of ammonites in the left cabinet fron Northern France an the two cabinets on the right with my Devonian cephalopods from Belgium. As for now I'm attending to my good intentions for 2019 : Labeling al the fossils in the cabinets I'll beposting details of every shelf in the days to come Here is a previeuw of the first cabinet and the 1st shelf: all the specimens from the same location: Cap-Blanc-Nez in France, mostly Cenomanian Ammonites Shelf 1:

Hello All, hope you are having a happy new years. This fish tank had a very high mortality rate when my fish were in it. I lost two beautiful fish to its open space. Yep, they jumped out. I found them a few days later as little crisps. Not nice. That's when I drained it. It sat there for a good while all empty but then when i got my Ammo for Christmas that some of you saw, I needed a place to store it. I managed to cleanly detach the light from the filter's base and then used a velcro strip to reposition it so that the light would provide a cool view on the ammonite. Then I took the filter off, leaving some empty space towards the back. It really only took me forty five minutes, and that's because I had to go to our local CVS for the velcro strips.

Bolstered from Christmas and recent fossil hunting, my collection has quite outgrown it's original case. I have been looking around and found a really nice set of drawers at Ikea for around 130$ but which is slightly limited on drawer space. I don't exactly have a high budget, I'm prepared to pay at least 150 usd for anything, but before i'd buy I would like to ask you all if you knew any drawers and/or could point me in the right place. I understand I can't spend much with my budget, but it never hurts to ask! Thanks all, FA

Hello ! I present you my very small collection. I started it last summer, so I do not have many pieces yet, but I prefer pretty pieces. I do not have the chance to search on the field, so I buy my fossils. We have: Keichousaurus Hui, I really like his broken tail Russian trilobite, Asaphus punctatus (I have not been able to label it yet). Restoration verified with violet lamp, less than 10% Spinosaurus tooth, correct quality, only glued but with pieces of the same tooth Last Acquisition: caudal vertebra spinosaurus I am going to buy other teeth of theropauds (carcharodontosaurs) in the next few months and I am mainly interested in dinosaurs fossils. See you soon !

Hi Nicky here! This is my small fossil collection which I started since I was 10 and expanded it when I was 18 If you have questions or have any suggestions for me please feel free to ask/tell My collection This is a overview of what I have. This is one of my favourites, the Spinosaurus I loved the creature when I first saw him in Jurassic park 3 and ever since it is one of my favourite carnivores! Carcharodon, A pretty tooth in my opinion. One of my newer tooth that I got, It is not specified what Kind of raptor it is but maybe you guys know? It's the smallest tooth that I currently own! Mosasaurus, one of the first teeth that I got and It is in my collection for a very long time. Plesiosaurus, This tooth is pretty cool in my opinion since it comes from the plesiosaurus which I find to be a very interesting reptile. Megalodon, Yes you read that right! a very bad condition meg tooth but never the less I find the unique look very cool. Otodus Obliquus, I fell in love when I saw the tooth and how it was stuck in the stone. Dalpiazia Stromeri, A tooth I got because it was one of the prey that the spinosaurus hunted on so I needed this one! Flexicalymene Retrorsa, My first trilobite and a cool looking one as well! Leptolepis, I found this fossil but I do not know allot about this creature so if you guys know more please tell me! Atlasaurus imelaki, Also a dinosaur that I do not know allot about but this piece was very cool. Oviraptor eggshell and a titanosauria eggshell, I always wanted a piece of a dinosaur egg so I got two shells! Mammoth hair and Amber with an insect, Cool things to own in my opinion. Dinosaur bone fragments, I picked these up on my trip in the USA when I was 10 good memories of visiting that shop :D. Ammonite, A small piece of ammonite which looked pretty cool to pick up. Whale ear, I got this from the same guy that gave me the Megalodon tooth in spain. Big ammonite, It is 40 cm in diameter and weights 14 kg this big ammonite is a big piece of my collection! Those were my fossils I got big plans to get more and bigger!
