Very very nice!

 

I too am envious of the organization.

Now for the vertebrates; The next drawer is devoted to graptolites and fish- placoderms, lobefins, and coelacanths:

Wow... This all from just 8 years of collecting, mostly self-collected? And I guess you're not yet done showing.

Love the satisfaction of getting a new cabinet and filling it. 

What kind of stuff did you collect from just above the Iridium layer? Would like to see it if you have pics.

Another drawer of fish: Green River Diplomystus and Knightia, and shark and ray material:

More fish; Connecticut Jurassic, Cretaceous from New Jersey and Texas, and more Green River Eocene specimens:

Reptiles and marine mammals. You may notice a modern horse tooth in there as well.

Finally the plants- primarily Carboniferous from Pennsylvania (St. Clair and Carbondale):

That black shale is covered with crinoid stems- Middle Devonian from Central New York, prepared by Ptychodus04.

You've talked about it, but WOW, that is one heckuva collection!...and nicely curated. Good work, Jeffrey,  that is a very productive eight years.

Words cannot express how nice and neat your collection is!!!! This emoji should do. 

[The Amateur Paleontologist]

Amazing collection, and so nicely organised!!

Really great job Jeffrey

[FossilNerd]

How many drawers does that cabinet have?!?! Very nice collection! Very well organized and labeled as others have said. I think I’ll spend the next hour just drooling over your pics. 

[deutscheben]

What an outstanding and orderly collection- it's an inspiration I hope to be able to follow with my own fossils. 

[JamieLynn]

great googly moogly. Amazing collection. Now I don't feel so bad about all of my little rocks....thinking I had too many. You sir, have many I have a few. 

[Scylla]

Wow, I hang my head in shame when I see how well your collection is maintained. Thank you for sharing. Maybe I missed it but what are the dimensions of that cabinet? Also the weight, address, and when will you be out of the house?

[Fossildude19]

Jeff, 

Glad you decided to post this for the Forum members to see!  

Like the others, I am drooling over this. 

It is quite an impressive and expansive collection!

Any chance of a shot of the cabinet itself? 

Thanks for posting it.  

[Tidgy's Dad]

That is an astonishing collection especially when it's only been eight years. 

Thanks for posting these wonders. 

Look at all those brachiopods! 

And thanks to Tim for the suggestion you post the pics. 

[Ludwigia]

What a great collection, Jeff! And as others have already stated, so well organized!

I have a gallery devoted to my finds from Just above the Iridium Layer. I welcome you and others to check it out. I was fortunate to return to the site this summer and add specimens to my collection.

What an incredible collection, 

Some beautiful fossils you have there I especially love the brachs and arthropods.

Thank you Roger for your comments and thanks to you I have Jurassic ammonites, belemnites, sponges, gastropods, and brachiopods in this collection. Also, thanks for helping me ID them.
