Here is a great lighted T-Rex Sign with the name Nimravus- I really love this. Just spotted this that’s really cool. Your wife did you proud.

thelivingdead531 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Wow! All of these gifts are amazing! My son and I are visiting my parents in NC so we’ve only opened their gifts. We have to wait until Jan 1st to open our family gifts as that’s when we and my husband (who is working out of state) will be back home in Wyoming. Anyway, I got these two fossil related things from my parents. I can’t wait to get back home and use my microscope!!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will like this little microscope, I had one and sent it to Adan @Tidgy's Dad after I picked up another stereoscope. It does a very nice job and is easy to use. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 One more gift but this ones from Bobby to Bobby and I did deserve this fantastic collection of teeth as I have been great this year. This was Lot D from this years grand Christmas auction to support TFF . I can’t recommend the end of year auction enough the quality of all the lots was outstanding . 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilNerd Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 @Bobby Rico You must have been at the top of the nice list this year what with the mastodon and shark teeth, a nice book, and the old post cards that Mrs. R got you. I love the old post cards by the way.

I love the old post cards by the way. Well done Mrs. R! Thanks my friend yes I have been great this year . The post cards are really cool very minimal and scientific in their look. I went on our favourite auction site to see if I could find another set maybe to send to Welsh-wizard but they was none the same as I have. I did find a different postcard from the same printers that shows some of the same collection and with Dippy in it too. While I was zooming in to the not so great quality photo on the listing, I spotted something interesting in the cabinets in the background. I spotted what I believe could well be my own model of a dinosaur that Mrs R got for me last birthday. I knew it had most likely come from the NHM London, and have been waiting more confirmation from them, (hold ups due to staff being off due to Covid etc) , so this may just be the evidence needed to support my theory that it started life here after all. sorry @will stevenson for hijacking your thread. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Many/Most of my Christmas presents were fossil related. My spouse insisted on trying to replace those parts of my fossil hunting attire that were torn by barb wire, ripped by rocks, or just rotting thru due to excessive use. She felt that 4 miles from any human habitation, I was over exposing key parts of my skin, especially from the rear. Note those cute little socks to go inside my dive boots, so the small gravel bits can not get to my sensitive toes. One brother chose to send smoked fishes (salmon,trout, mackerel) from Clifden, another brother sent 3 types of chocolate fudge handmade by Trappist monks in Kentucky, and friends who recognized my current fossil focus sent tiny marine mammal teeth from Sharktooth Hill and Bone valley. All in all, a fantastic set of gifts.

It looks great, and to have possible evidence that it was indeed at the NHM London is icing in the cake! Hopefully the folks there will get back with you soon to confirm. 2 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you NHML a few months ago said it matched an image in their collection but only the archives can fill in the blanks . I have sent another email prompting them so fingers crossed I get a response soon. Cheers Bobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranzBernhard Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Yesterday I received my last Christmas present: The painting of a Knightia incl. the fossil from @Pagurus Now I can understand his artistry even more: The fish looks really 3D, and it is even moving, swimming. Incredible! Thanks so much for this great gift and prize! It was the prize of the 39th Rolling Contest.
