Earlier this year I bought this case from IKEA for about $60. Then I added some LED lights and a few nice fossils. Check it out:

 

Top row is basically the "ferocious fish"  level 

 

Next down is the Tylosaurus / platycarpine mosasaur level 

 

Then the Cretoxyrhina level 

 

And a Pteranodon wing cast I made 

 

 

Overview of the four layers:

Top level: Xiphactinus and Protosphraena. Note embedded tooth on r. Xip vertebra.

These are all just Cretoxyrhina (sp.)

and here's a cast of a smallish Pteranodon hand that I made. All these fossils are from the L. Cretaceous Niobrara chalk of W. Kansas.
