I was rearranging some bits of my collection for fun and decided to try and throw together some nice displays. Here is my first attempt. I'd love to see other peoples beautiful display shelves as well

Unfortunately recently while cleaning my glass cabinet it collapsed. Luckily i'd taken everything out to clean so no fossils were harmed.

Looking forward to seeing everyone elses displays though.

@mattbsharks pretty looking shelve you have their. An interesting mixture does make a good display.

 

@LiamL I am glad none of your treasured specimens was damaged in your shelve malfunction.

 

Here is mine a bit messy and ram packed .

Here is my display cabinet.  Made in wood shop class in a year's worth of Tuesday nights.  Hmmmm... actually two years of Tuesdays.IMG_6756.jpg.7efd4ec2de9e3e99d6b3e9429b2174a6.jpg

Wow!  It's like looking at candy - from the outside window of the store:)  So many fantastic specimens, I'm so jealous.

I didn't know you printed that drawing! I really need to get that properly scanned from the original for you (much better detail) -- hopefully before your next visit. :) 

 

Love the lighting, but now I want to see what is going on just beneath this level (look to be winter tire-sized ammos down below!).

Wow!  What a thread!  Took some time to go through this thread.  Lots and lots of neato stuff to look at!  To say the least!    Im working on my forth shelving unit right now but here are 3 others.  Ive shown these before though.

A very little known fact that the early Rhinos were much more intelligent than they are now. Sort of an evolutionary digression.

Here is a representation of the ancient

"Egghead Rhinoceros".

A plastic display case from a yard sale behind my monitor. Full now. What do you use for LED or other lighting?

I would really like a display cabinet with all my fossils. 
However my Mrs says they are “ugly” (exact quote :headscratch:). Let’s say she doesn’t share my enthusiasm for them.

So I have a tiny percentage of my collection on display on a book shelf. And the rest are in boxes in my garage. Sigh.... Maybe one day.......

Ok here’s my collection. Some of you will probably recognize some of these pieces as a lot of them were donations or sold to me from forum members!
