RJB Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Youve got some nice old fish Frank. I hope someday I can get my hands on one or two of those oldies unprepped and try my hand at prepping one? I think that would be quite exciting!

Frank Menser Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Thanks... With a few exceptions the main focus of my collecting has turned to Fish and early Tetrapods Silurian to Permian; the pity being I am not in an area where I can field collect these (hence my fascination with Mosasaurs and Enchodus which do occur here in NC).

Ramo Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 My one and only. (If it wasn't for the fossil forum, it would still be laying there.) Collected from fill dumped south of Louisville KY. Dorsal plate from a placoderm. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
