mattbsharks Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamL Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 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. Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 @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 . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!). 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 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". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I would really like a display cabinet with all my fossils. However my Mrs says they are “ugly” (exact quote ). 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....... 1 MotM August 2023 - Eclectic Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 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! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
