All, I have a lot of different items in my collection but I am not a trilobite expert by any means. That's why I'm looking for help with ID here. If anyone knows more about Trilobites than I do that is. Photos 2,3 and 4 are Moroccan I believe. Specimens I have picked up over the years. Photos 1 and 5 were part of an old collection from a UK locality (Pembrokeshire, Wales?). Any help appreciated.

Building dioramas of past life from Edicaran through Pleistocene for educational dioramas. Can anyone suggest resources for SCALED sets/collections? Hate it when the veloceraptor is the same size as the sauropods. Also, for backgrounds, can anyone suggest current paleo artists that might participate in an educational product?

Kurufossils posted a topic in Member Collections
Hello everyone, I'd like to share my extreme budget collection of megs for the US as requested, I've have been collecting shark teeth and other for a little over a year and a half now on a budget and have been surprised by what I was able to get a hold of so far. Condition doesn't bother me hence the budget but I have been able to find some megs from from interesting locations over the short period of time I've been collecting with a little bit of luck. I estimate I spent no more than $1,100 in total for this small collection. Tag me if there's any teeth you'd like to take a closer look at. In order: 1) Ace Basin, Ashepoo River SC 2) Lee Creek, Aurora, NC 3) Ocean teeth likely from offshore SC 4) Georgia??? 5) 7 inch+ meg fragment likely from offshore SC 6) Virginia Red Site (repaired) 7) Georgia??? 8) Virginia 9) St. Mary's??? 10) Georgia??? (repaired) 11) Summerville 12) Ocean teeth likely from offshore SC 13) St. Mary's Last photo: 6inch+ Calvert Cliffs, Maryland (restored) I'll do bone valleys for part 3 sometime soon! @ynot @WhodamanHD @snolly50 @sixgill pete

Rauisuchians are some of my favorite prehistoric beasts, rather specific but I'm wondering if anyone on here on the forum has any material to show I'd love to see. So far I've been only able to obtain postosuchus teeth and recently begrudgingly missed out on some Batrachotomus kupferzellensis.

I have been fortunate enough to obtain a large-ish (well, 25 kilo) collection of fossils. It's an odd mix of genuine specimens and replicas. I have no interest in old replica fossils, and the lot was advertised as basically just that - but I bought the collection suspecting that some would turn out to be genuine, and sure enough, they did. These are the replicas. They vary in their levels of quality, but some are convincing at a glance. The crinoid bottom right is so stunningly detailed that I thought it might be genuine for a moment, but it's just another cast. It's a very unusual collection. It contains many old painted plaster replicas (even of exceptionally common specimens, such as Yorkshire dacs) and a number of very interesting genuine fossils, some with ancient collection labels. I would guess that they are mostly British fossils, and oddly for a British collection, there are no ammonites! But given that these fossils were collected a very long time ago, and cover periods that are unusual to me, I'd be very grateful for any help with IDs. It's a shame, every single item in the collection had a numbered label, but the corresponding cataloge was not included. First off, this coral block. Does anybody have any idea as to what it might be, and where it may be from? Might it be worth polishing it? I'm going to tag @TqB, who tends to know these things! Side 1: Side 2:

Hi guys, Been reading for a while but just decided to join! Iv always been fascinated with nature & fossils in particular but I took the the plunge around 6 months ago and bought a couple of fossils at a local auction (coral colony & 3 fish mortality plate). Since then my interest has grown & I find myself wanting to learn more and add some more to my collection. That's how I found you guys! Looking forward to learning more. Thanks, Andrew

Hello all, I am looking for tips on putting a collection together. Once your collection is posted can you update it with more fossils? Can they be polished to show definition or should they be rough? I have some that I obviously would not polish but I have some beautiful petosky stones that I have polished. I am planning on taking some photos to start a collection but thought I would ask for any tips or pointers first. Thanks, Kim

Hi Fellow Forum members. I have been using a home made dust collection system and think it is time to upgrade. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have seen some woodshop dust collectors that will filter down to 0.3 microns but I am not sure if that is good enough. I am looking for feedback from anyone with experience with dust collectors. Thanks, Andy

Dear all, Is anybody aware of the legal prospects regarding Fossil hunting and Collection in India. Please let me know if there is any provision of registration of such collections such that I can legally have possession of Fossils and related stuff.

I used to have some fossils when I was younger, but they've all been lost to time. Just purchases these from some highly rated sellers online. I like them for different reasons. Any opinions? They were cheap. The plant was $4.50 and the Trilobite was $13 (it's just 3/4 of an inch). The fern is about 2 x 2 1/2 inches. What do you think of them? It's a Cambrian trilobite btw.

Hi fossils friends, I have a collection exclusively based on Permian and Triassic Cephalopods. At the moment, I have around 400 pieces (Ammonoïds and Nautiloïds), but all is tidied up in cardboards. (Not place enough). Later, my wish would be to display my collection in an original way. I would not only put fossils on shelves. Maybe recreate for the differents foundplace a setting with rocks/sand/wood ... Anyone has an idea ? Here are a few examples of my cardboards. Thanks a lot by advance. Gilles
