My First Purchase—Green River Diplomystus with Knightia


Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

 

Newbie here from the Emerald Isle.

 

I finally pulled the trigger and purchased my first fossil—a Green River Diplomystus dentatus with Knightia eocaena.

The seller is well-known and highly regarded on this forum so I’m not necessarily concerned with the authenticity, but I am really keen to hear people’s opinions on this specimen.

 

My apologies if this is the wrong place to post.

 

Thanks,

Robert

Hello and welcome! Looks like a couple of nice ones to me. Not bad for a first purchase. :)

That's a lovely plate with iconic fossils. I believe you will certainly enjoy displaying it.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See

That looks great!

 

If you want to frame it to hang it, Nielsen metal frames work well.

Thanks @aplomado

 

I'll check out the frames! Cheers for the recommendation.
